Publishers

Crsp fetches news via one crawler, identified on every request as:

CrspBot/1.0 (+https://www.getcrsp.ca/publishers)

• It reads publicly offered RSS/Atom feeds and public APIs only, roughly once per hour, with per-feed limits.
• It does not scrape article pages, bypass paywalls, or disguise itself as a browser. If a publisher blocks CrspBot, we treat that as an answer and stop, and we reach out properly rather than working around it.
• We do not store full article text, and we never republish it.

Crsp writes its own sixty-ish word summary of a story, machine-checked for accuracy against the feed content (the full pipeline is documented here). Every card displays the source name and links directly to the original article. We are an entry point to journalism, not a substitute for it: the click-through is the product working as intended.

73 feeds and public data sources across these organizations:

Government and public-domain sources (Bank of Canada, Statistics Canada, SEC EDGAR, WHO) are used under their open-data terms.

• To opt out: block CrspBot in your robots.txt or at the server level, or email us; we will remove your feeds promptly, no argument.
• To talk about inclusion, attribution, licensing, or anything else: email support@getcrsp.ca with the subject “Publisher inquiry”.

We are a small Canadian company that wants the newsrooms we summarize to thrive. If you feel our handling of your content is not fair to you, we want to hear it.
