Software vendor shortlisting
Produce a buyer-specific shortlist with evidence and unresolved questions. A vendor's advertised capability, a reviewer's experience, and a capability verified in the user's environment are different evidence types.
Setup and API contract
Set CRAWLORA_API_KEY to your key from crawlora.net.
Use the bundled scripts/crawlora.sh, which sends x-api-key to
https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1. Read reference/endpoints.md
for selected endpoints and parameters. Check application code as well as HTTP
status; successful payloads are inside data. Stop on authentication errors,
back off on 429, and retry a transient upstream failure once. Bound requests
by the user's scope and credit budget. Preserve source URLs, IDs, retrieved pages,
and timestamps with intermediate evidence so an interrupted comparison can resume.
