Ready4Bots

Search the public Ready4Bots index. Free text matches name, industry, tags, product keywords, category, description, and domain, including synonyms such as shoes/sneakers, coffee/espresso, and hotel/lodging. Results are ranked by that relevance, then by published R-level. Filter by category (E-commerce, SaaS, or an industry id such as fashion-shoes), country, exact level (R0–R3 from a published test, R4 only for the certified seal), minimum level, action (search, book, or order), audience (customer, seller, or dev), and certified. The response includes totalIndexed, the size of the catalog, and indexSource. Each result includes level, status, certified, industry, channel, actions, audience, sourceUrl, and ready4botsUrl. A level is present only when a test recorded one. Unverified listings are never certified. The tool waits for the live providers table. indexSource is postgres when that read finishes, including when it returns no public row. indexSource is snapshot, with fallbackReason, only when the database cannot be reached. get_business reads the same catalog.

Run the free Ready4Bots Bot-Ready check on a public http(s) URL. Scores R0 through R3 with the v0.1 checker. Never awards R4 and never sets certified. A guarantee hint returns status R4 candidate · not verified. The same check the website runs; a saved report gets a public result URL.

List Ready4Bots levels R0 through R4, plus seal variants R4-N and R4-W. R4 is Verified Agent Purchase by three paths. Ready4Bots does not place a real order at a third-party shop. The free check awards R0 through R3 only. Mass tests stop at R3 purchase-ready.
