Daily request counts and verified share for OAI-SearchBot.
The OAI-SearchBot observation record on Rattlesnakes By Mail counts every request that Rattlesnakes By Mail logged from OAI-SearchBot, day by day. Each daily row states the request count, the share of requests whose identity matched the vendor's published IP ranges or reverse DNS, and the formats served. A row appears only after Rattlesnakes By Mail logged at least one request from OAI-SearchBot. Raw per-request rows are never exported, and every IP address is hashed with SHA-256 salted by the date before storage.
