The user agent of our crawler is "SEBot-WA". You can verify if a web crawler using your server is truly a SE Ranking Crawler by using one of the methods specified below.
Reverse DNS method
This is the preferred verification method. All of the servers used by the SE Ranking Crawler have domain name that is a subdomain of sr-srv.net (this domain is owned and exclusively used by SE Ranking).
To verify that the IP address belongs to SE Ranking Crawler, follow these steps:
Step 1: Run a reverse DNS lookup on the IP address in question:
$ host 144.76.237.123
123.237.76.144.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer cloud106.sr-srv.net.
Step 2: Verify that the resulting domain name is the subdomain of sr-srv.net.
Step 3: Run a forward DNS lookup on the resulting domain name:
$ host cloud106.sr-srv.net.
cloud106.sr-srv.net has address 144.76.237.123
Step 4: Verify that the resulting IP address is the same as the original IP address supplied in Step 1.
