how to easily generate and customize robots.txt files for your sites without manual editing

the problem

keeping your robots.txt files current and tailored to different environments or content policies can be tedious and error-prone. manual updates often lead to mistakes that can block search engines or expose sensitive content.

the solution

the robots-txt-generator api makes it simple to generate or customize robots.txt files based on your site configuration or policies. just send a request to the api, and get back a ready-to-use robots.txt file.

example request

GET https://robots-txt-generator.apimesh.xyz/check?site_url=https://example.com&disallow=private,

// response shape
{
"robots_txt": "user-agent: *\ndisallow: /private/\n"
}

how it works

it takes parameters like site url, allowed/disallowed paths, and your policies, then dynamically generates the text for your robots.txt. you can also customize rules to suit different parts of your site.

try it out

test it with a free preview at https://robots-txt-generator.apimesh.xyz/preview?site_url=yourdomain.com&disallow=private. costs just $0.005 per call, making it easy to automate your seo optimizations without hassle.

this tool helps you stay flexible with your site configuration, avoid manual errors, and quickly adapt to policy changes.
