Crawler IP checker
Use this crawler IP checker to compare up to 50 addresses with published bot ranges. Paste IPs or a log excerpt, then review the operator matches.
A crawler IP checker compares a request address with ranges published by the crawler operator. Paste up to 50 addresses or a log excerpt to check both IP families. A match identifies a published network range, not the exact bot or its intent. Read the source and refresh date before trusting the result.
Coverage and verification limits
Documentation reviewed on 11 October 2026. This tool performs no reverse DNS lookups on your IPs.
- Meta
- Meta documents its crawler user agents and robots.txt controls. No complete official address feed is enabled here. A Meta user agent alone cannot authenticate a request. Operator documentation
- ByteDance
- The official Bytespider page lists ten IPv4 ranges and reverse DNS guidance. This checker does not download that JavaScript-rendered list, so Bytespider ownership remains unverified. Third-party IP lists are excluded. Operator documentation
- Amazon
- Amazon publishes separate address lists for Amazonbot, Amzn-SearchBot and Amzn-User. This checker reads the complete JSON blocks on those official HTML pages. Individual addresses are matched as host ranges. Operator documentation
- Mistral AI
- The checked documentation links IP lists for MistralAI-User and MistralAI-Index. It does not link a separate MistralAI-Training list. Training requests remain outside this coverage. Operator documentation
- Majestic
- Majestic documents a distributed crawler without consecutive IP blocks. Use the MJ12bot user agent and robots.txt controls; this checker cannot confirm an IP from that name. Operator documentation
- Google documents reverse DNS with category-specific googlebot.com, google.com or googleusercontent.com hostnames, followed by a forward lookup that returns the original IP. Cloud user fetchers are not necessarily operated by Google. Operator documentation
- Apple
- Apple documents reverse DNS ending in applebot.apple.com. Confirm the hostname resolves back to the original address before trusting it. Operator documentation
- Common Crawl
- Common Crawl publishes a CCBot IP file. It documents crawl.commoncrawl.org reverse DNS for IPv4, confirmed by forward DNS, and says its IPv6 addresses do not have reverse DNS records. Operator documentation
How this tool works
- Use the original peer address
- Paste one address per line or a short log excerpt. Check that your logs record the actual peer, or a forwarded address from a proxy you trust. The tool extracts valid addresses and checks at most 50 distinct IPs.
- Read the matching range
- The server reads official range files with a 24-hour cache. A failed refresh keeps the last complete copy and marks it stale. Shared infrastructure ranges cannot identify an individual crawler. A missing match can also reflect incomplete coverage.
- Confirm the request context
- Compare the claimed user agent with the matched operator and its documentation. Where documented, reverse DNS followed by a forward lookup can add evidence. This checker performs no reverse DNS lookups on your addresses.
