Bingbot IP ranges
Indexes pages for Bing and the search products built on it. Microsoft publishes the address ranges Bingbot crawls from so sites can tell it from a scraper carrying its name. This is that file, synced daily by the same job that feeds the IP lookup, with the date of the copy and how to check a visitor against it.

The ranges
Every prefix in Microsoft's file as of 2026-09-12, IPv4 first, each family in address order. An address inside any of them is Bingbot as far as its operator is concerned.

How to verify a visitor is Bingbot
Take the request's source address and check it against the prefixes above; the User-Agent header is a claim anyone can type and proves nothing on its own. Microsoft also supports reverse DNS: the PTR name of a genuine Bingbot address ends in search.msn.com, and resolving that name forward returns the same address. Either proof is enough; the ranges need no DNS query.
What the API answers for one of its addresses
A lookup of an address inside these ranges answers is_crawler true, names it in crawler and classes it in crawler_kind. A crawler carries no risk weight, and the datacenter weight is skipped for it: its operator is known and its infrastructure is the point.
curl https://spaw.co/api/v1/ip \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SPAW_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"ip": "13.66.139.0"}'"is_crawler": true,
"crawler": "Bingbot",
"crawler_kind": "search",
"risk_signals": [{ "signal": "datacenter", "weight": 0, "dataset": "datacenter-ranges" }]A range proves the operator, not intent. Whether Bingbot is welcome on a site is a robots.txt decision; this page and the lookup only settle whether a request that says it is Bingbot really came from Microsoft.
