01 — Verification
How IPAPI.GR verifies Qwantbot.
Only from what Qwantbot 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 Qwantbot address sets risk.is_crawler. The flags come with geolocation and network data in the same response, for Pro API keys.
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 Qwantbot but doesn't match is unverified.
