Why it matters

The W3C TDM Reservation Protocol lets a site reserve text and data mining rights in a machine-readable file. This check reports if the file exists. It does not change the score.

How to fix it

Publish /.well-known/tdmrep.json when you reserve text and data mining rights.

  1. Create /.well-known/tdmrep.json with one entry per path pattern.

    [
  {"location": "/*", "tdm-reservation": 1, "tdm-policy": "https://example.com/tdm-policy.json"}
]

  2. Serve the file as application/json with HTTP 200.

Verify

curl -sf https://{domain}/.well-known/tdmrep.json | jq -e 'type == "array"'

Expected: exit code 0
