Centinel AnalyticaStatistikHessen
StatistikHessen is the web scraping agent of the Hessisches Statistisches Landesamt (Hessian State Statistical Office) in Wiesbaden, Germany. It collects publicly accessible web data for official economic statistics and for maintaining the statistics register, operating under section 5(5) of the German Federal Statistics Act (Bundesstatistikgesetz). The operator publishes a scraping policy at https://statistik.hessen.de/ua, states that it crawls preferably during off-peak hours with pauses between requests, and gives webscraping@statistik.hessen.de as its contact address.
At a glance
- Operator: Hessisches Statistisches Landesamt
- Type: Research
How Centinel checks it
- User agent: The request calls itself this crawler. Anyone can send the same string.
- IP ranges: The operator publishes the addresses it crawls from, and Centinel checks the client address against that list.
A request that passes one of these checks is StatistikHessen itself. One that only matches the user agent is reported as unverified. The match tokens, verification domains, and address feeds are not published here.
Allowing or blocking it
The crawler object in the /validate response sets access_allowed to true only for a verified source that your tenant allowlists. A policy rule can allow or block this crawler by its category, Research.
