Seobility crawler infrastructure
01 — Verification
Only from what Seobility crawlers 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.
risk.is_crawler
02 — In the response
A lookup of a Seobility crawlers 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 Seobility crawlers but doesn't match is unverified.

Seobility crawlers publishes its addresses at https://www.seobility.net/bots.json. IPAPI.GR reads that publication directly, not a third-party copy.
IPAPI.GR re-fetches it every hour. If a refresh fails, the previous entries expire after at most 24 hours instead of being trusted forever.
A matching address sets risk.is_crawler in the lookup response. The risk flags are returned for Pro API keys.
