web crawler - Google Apps Script Bot repeatedly crawling website each minute -
just hour ago, started tailing
apache log file (access logs), , since then, ve noticed weird user agent, (couldnt find google's official docs).
i m feeling suspicious it, since couldnt find on google's site user agent,
("mozilla/5.0 (compatible; googleapps script; +http://script.google.com/bot.html))
it has crawling login page of our site, every minute, whole day.
here's log snippet:
72.14.199.55 - - [07/aug/2013:16:06:28 +0000] "get / http/1.1" 302 639 "-" "mozilla/5.0 (compatible; googleapps script; +http://script.google.com/bot.html)" 72.14.199.55 - - [07/aug/2013:16:06:28 +0000] "get /accounts/login/ http/1.1" 200 3780 "-" "mozilla/5.0 (compatible; googleapps script; +http://script.google.com/bot.html)"
and has been same ip. , still is,
is common see pattern of crawling?
google apps scripts allow users write javascript based code , set them run @ specified intervals google's servers.
this isn't google's web crawler, it's script google user wrote.
also: if block ip or whatever google user bombarded "your script has failed run" emails every minute.
