Verify that an IP address is from Google using Google's recommended DNS verification steps.
You may wish to verify that a web crawler accessing your server is Googlebot (or another Google user-agent) and not spammers or other bots scraping your site while claiming to be Googlebot. Since you cannot rely on the User-Agent
header which is easily spoofed, you need to use DNS look up to verify that the IP address belongs to Google.
This library implements Google's own verification steps outlined here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/80553?hl=en
npm install googlebot-verify
const verify = require('googlebot-verify');
const ip = req.headers['x-forwarded-for'] || req.connection.remoteAddress;
verify(ip, (error, isGoogle) => {
if (isGoogle) {
// do something with result...
}
});
verify(ip)
.then( isGoogle => { /* handle result */ })
.catch( e => { /* handle error */ });
