Where the shows come from

When you ask for a place, Hear & Now searches the web for tonight’s listings there and reads a dozen public pages, once, for everyone who asks about that place tonight. Claude picks out the facts, and code checks every show against the page it came from.

What we keep

• Facts only: who’s playing, where, when, and the price.
• A link to the page each show came from, and to the venue’s own tickets.
• Never a page’s descriptions, photos or reviews.

What we read

• Before reading a page we check the site’s robots.txt, and skip the page if it says no to all readers (*) or to Claude-User, the agent for a page read because a person asked. We read each robots.txt again after a day.
• If a robots.txt can’t be reached, we read nothing on that site that time.
• We’re reading each site’s terms of use, and asking for permission where they don’t allow automated reading. A site that says no, or asks us to stop, is never read again.
• A site that has said yes to us is read even when its robots.txt turns automated readers away, since that is often a default the owner never chose. Say yes for your page.
• We don’t use anything we read to train an AI model.

Your site or venue shouldn’t be here? Ask us to remove it; we do it within 2 days.

The sites

186 sites. “Not checked yet” means we follow the site’s robots.txt and haven’t read its terms yet.
