Bot verification

This User-Agent declares a bot or user-triggered fetcher. Each connection's IP is checked at ingest against the verification channels the operator publishes — its crawler IP ranges and, where documented, forward-confirmed reverse DNS. A claim either channel confirms is verified; one confirmed by neither — outside the ranges, inside a different operator's, or failing the DNS check — is unverified. Meta publishes its network rather than crawler ranges, so its verified claims are network-confirmed and its unconfirmed misses are unverified claims, not proven spoofs. Telegram publishes network ranges rather than fetcher ranges, and its misses are treated the same way. bot-claim anomalies →

Last 7 days (3 observations)

Distinct clients per day (last 30 days, peak 1/day)

Distinct clients are counted by IP-hash per complete UTC day — unlike observation counts this is insensitive to one chatty client, but NAT merges clients and address rotation splits them.

Co-observed signals

Signals from other families seen in the same observation. A fingerprint spread thinly across many lower-layer signatures is a classic inconsistency signal.
