Bot signals — AI crawler & agent
Moonshot Kimi-User IP addresses
Kimi user-triggered retrieval egress; published addresses can overlap other Kimi bots.
01 — Verification
How IPAPI.GR verifies Moonshot Kimi-User.
Only from what Moonshot Kimi-User publishes about itself. No third-party blocklists, no behavioural guesses. Live address counts change with every publication, so check the official file for the current list.
02 — In the response
What a match looks like.
A lookup of a Moonshot Kimi-User address sets risk.is_ai and risk.is_crawler. The flags come with geolocation and network data in the same response, for Pro API keys.
This publication is AI crawling or retrieval traffic, so it counts as both an AI source and a crawler.
The response says which kind of bot an address belongs to, not which operator. Pair it with the user agent: a request that claims to be Moonshot Kimi-User but doesn't match is unverified.
