How IPAPI.GR verifies SERankingBacklinksBot.

Only from what SE Ranking Backlinks bot publishes about itself. No third-party blocklists, no behavioural guesses. Live address counts change with every publication, so check the official files for the current list.

02 — In the response

What a match looks like.

A lookup of a SERankingBacklinksBot 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 SERankingBacklinksBot but doesn't match is unverified.

GET /api/lookup/{ip}?key=PRO_KEY
{
  // … location and network fields …
  "risk": {
    "is_ai": false,
    "is_crawler": true,
    "is_scanner": false
