What it is

Delivers push notifications for Google APIs to a webhook you registered. It is a special-case crawler: it ignores the robots.txt * group, because the fetch is a delivery to an address you asked it to deliver to.

What blocking it costs you

Google API push notifications stop arriving at your endpoint. This only affects services you set up yourself; there is no search or AI consequence.

/tools/verification-methods?crawler=apis-google
How do I prove a request really is APIs-Google? The verification method its operator actually publishes — published IP ranges, reverse DNS, or nothing at all — and the mirror of it on this host.
/tools/verify-crawler?ip=108.177.2.0&ua=APIs-Google
Is 108.177.2.0 really APIs-Google? That address checked against every prefix this host mirrors. 108.177.2.0 is the first address of 108.177.2.0/27, one of the ranges listed on this page — so the link is a worked example that returns a match. Swap in an address from your own log.

Every parameter above is a value the endpoint reads, not an address it visits: nothing is fetched on your behalf. Called without any parameter, each endpoint returns its own specification instead of an error. All of them.
