A user-agent string is free to type, so GPTBot in your log means nothing until you check the address it came from. Most large operators do publish their ranges - but each in its own place and its own shape: openai.com/gptbot.json, Google’s special-crawlers list, Bing, Apple, Amazon, Perplexity, and so on.

This mirrors all 15 of those published endpoints into one schema, re-fetched every six hours:

• 1987 unique IPv4 and 1062 unique IPv6 prefixes, each carrying the operator and the source URL it came from
• per-source status at /status.json, so you can see which upstreams answered - right now 14 of 15; the one that failed is named with its HTTP status rather than quietly dropped
• a cursor feed at /changes.json?since=0: ranges move, and this tells you which ones moved since you last looked instead of making you diff 1987 prefixes yourself

One caveat worth stating plainly, because it is the part people get wrong: an IP-range list is necessary, not sufficient. Google and Bing document reverse-DNS as the authoritative check for their crawlers, and that is still the right method for them. The ranges are what you use for the operators who publish no rDNS convention at all - which is most of the newer ones.
