WireReaderBot is the crawler for Wire RSS Reader, a modern news reader application that aggregates RSS feeds. The bot fetches full article content from websites so that Wire can render complete original articles for its users, rather than just the limited content available in RSS feeds.

How Centinel checks it

User agent: The request calls itself this crawler. Anyone can send the same string.

WireReaderBot publishes nothing Centinel can check a source against, so a match reports the name and leaves the source unconfirmed. 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, Other.
