Oh great /s

In a month or two, I can be annoyed when I see some vibe-coded AI startup's script making five million requests a day to work's website with this.

They'll have been ignoring the error responses:

  {"All data is public and available for free download": "https://example.edu/very-large-001.zip"}
— a message we also write in the first line of every HTML page source.

Then I will spend more time fighting this shit, and less time improving the public data system.
