Operator-published TerraCotta crawler addresses; no surrounding cloud ranges.
01 — Verification

02 — In the response
A lookup of a Ceramic TerraCotta 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 Ceramic TerraCotta but doesn't match is unverified.
