`ImagesiftBot`

The Imagesift by Hive page says ImageSiftBot scrapes publicly available images for its web intelligence products, and that those products use the saved index for search and retrieval of similar images. Standard robots.txt directives that target ImagesiftBot are respected. If there is no ImagesiftBot rule and there is a Googlebot rule, the page says ImagesiftBot follows the Googlebot directives. This check does not apply that fallback. The page says ImagesiftBot supports crawl-delay as a minimum number of seconds between the start of consecutive requests. This check does not apply crawl-delay.
