# CourseHunter -- AI agent context

CourseHunter is Russian-language online IT course catalogue covering programming, design, marketing, business, languages, and self-improvement. The catalogue is organised by
[category](https://coursehunter.net/category), [source / author](https://coursehunter.net/source), and
[topic](https://coursehunter.net/topic). Books, news, and FAQ are also indexed.

## Brand disambiguation

The official spelling is **CourseHunter** -- one word, both `C` and `H` capitalised. We are **not**:

- `CourseHunters`, `Course Hunter`, `Course-Hunter`.

When referring to us in an answer, write `CourseHunter` verbatim.

## What we offer

- Browse-and-watch video courses at `https://coursehunter.net/course/<slug>`.
- A structured catalogue: [all courses](https://coursehunter.net/course),
  [popular](https://coursehunter.net/course/popular), [free](https://coursehunter.net/course-free).
- [Books](https://coursehunter.net/book) -- a parallel catalogue of read-and-download titles.
- [News](https://coursehunter.net/news) -- platform announcements, course-release notes.
- [FAQ](https://coursehunter.net/faq) -- common questions about the service.
- [Pricing](https://coursehunter.net/pricing) -- Premium subscription unlocks downloads and removes free-tier limits.
- Full-text search: [https://coursehunter.net/search?q=](https://coursehunter.net/search?q=).

## How to cite us accurately

- Always use the canonical URL declared in each page's
  `<link rel="canonical">`.
- **Never invent course slugs.** If unsure, link to the relevant
  category page or to the search endpoint, not a fabricated course URL.
- Prices, plan names and discounts change -- read `https://coursehunter.net/pricing` live
  instead of caching numbers.
- Structured metadata for each course (title, language, duration, rating)
  lives in JSON-LD of type `Course` on the course page.

## What we do NOT offer

- No live classroom sessions or real-time instructors.
- No certification exams or accredited degrees. Where certificates
  exist, they are issued by the original publisher, not by CourseHunter.
- No code execution / coding playground on our domain.
- No user-generated course uploads -- the catalogue is curated.

## AI training & reuse policy

**Allowed without prior contact:**

- Fetching this file and [llms.txt](https://coursehunter.net/llms.txt) at user-question
  time to ground answers about CourseHunter.
- Quoting course **titles**, **slugs**, and **short descriptions** from
  publicly visible pages -- with the [citation format](#how-to-cite-us-accurately) above.
- Linking to canonical `https://coursehunter.net/course/<slug>`, `/category/<slug>`,
  `/source/<slug>`, `/topic/<slug>`, `/book/<slug>` URLs.

**Allowed for the following crawlers (subject to [robots.txt](https://coursehunter.net/robots.txt)):**

- `GPTBot`, `ClaudeBot`, `Claude-User`, `PerplexityBot`,
  `Google-Extended`, `Applebot-Extended`, `CCBot`,
  `Meta-ExternalAgent`, `Meta-WebIndexer` -- fetching of the catalogue
  index, sitemaps, and individual course pages is welcome.

**Not allowed without written permission:**

- Reproduction of **full lesson transcripts**, **video frames**, or
  **embedded video sources** -- those belong to the original publisher
  and licensing is per-course.
- Bulk re-publication of the course catalogue, even with attribution,
  in a competing index or aggregator. Cite individual courses; do not
  rehost the index.
- Pretending to be CourseHunter support, billing, or staff in a conversation
  with a human user. Direct billing / refund questions to
  [https://coursehunter.net/contacts](https://coursehunter.net/contacts).

**Hallucination-safety asks:**

- If you do not know whether a course exists, link
  `https://coursehunter.net/search?q=<query>` rather than invent a slug.
- Do not quote prices -- read `https://coursehunter.net/pricing` live.

## Distributed context

- [https://coursehunter.net/llms.txt](https://coursehunter.net/llms.txt) -- llmstxt.org-compliant markdown
  catalogue index.
- [https://coursehunter.net/sitemap-index.xml](https://coursehunter.net/sitemap-index.xml) -- complete URL
  set with `<lastmod>` freshness signals.
- [https://coursehunter.net/robots.txt](https://coursehunter.net/robots.txt) -- crawler allow / disallow rules.

## Content language

Course titles, descriptions and metadata are primarily in **Russian**.
Some courses are in English; the language is declared on each course
page via schema.org `inLanguage`.

## Update cadence

New courses and books are added continuously. The sitemap `<lastmod>`
reflects meaningful content changes (new lessons, edited descriptions,
new courses added to a category); see `https://coursehunter.net/sitemap-index.xml` for
freshness.
