Text and data mining / TDM

If you do TDM on our platforms, we ask that you follow the guidelines that are included in your license. If you don’t know these, contact your sales person.


In addition we ask that you use a User-Agent string that contains the term “TextDataMining” (without quotes). The User-Agent string can also contain other text (it does not need to be only “TextDataMining”).


Currently no activity on our platforms is reported with Access_Method = TDM. Instead we remove all activity where the User-Agent string contains the “TextDataMining” text as per above. Support for TDM reporting might come at a future date.
