New Location for the Google Crawlers' IP Range Files

Tuesday, March 31, 2026

Just a short note this time!

Currently, you find the JSON files listing Google's IP ranges under the /search/apis/ipranges/ directory on developers.google.com. Since these ranges apply to more than just Google Search crawlers, we're moving them to a more general location: developers.google.com/crawling/ipranges/.

We've already updated our documentation to point to this new location. For the time being, the files will continue to be available at the old /search/ path as well to give everyone time to update their systems. However, we encourage you to switch to the new /crawling/ipranges/ path as soon as possible. We will eventually phase out the old locations and redirect them to the new ones within 6 months.
