PerplexityBot IP ranges

Indexes pages for Perplexity's answers. Perplexity publishes the address ranges PerplexityBot 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 Perplexity's file as of 2026-09-12, IPv4 first, each family in address order. An address inside any of them is PerplexityBot as far as its operator is concerned.

How to verify a visitor is PerplexityBot

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. Perplexity documents the ranges as the way to verify PerplexityBot; a reverse DNS name is not part of its guidance, so do not rely on one.

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": "3.211.124.183"}'
"is_crawler": true,
"crawler": "PerplexityBot",
"crawler_kind": "search",
"risk_signals": [{ "signal": "datacenter", "weight": 0, "dataset": "datacenter-ranges" }]

A range proves the operator, not intent. Whether PerplexityBot is welcome on a site is a robots.txt decision; this page and the lookup only settle whether a request that says it is PerplexityBot really came from Perplexity.
