What it is

Fetches individual URLs that a Pinpoint user — usually a journalist or researcher — added as a source to their own document collection. Google publishes fetcher addresses in two files — user-triggered-fetchers.json and user-triggered-fetchers-google.json — and does not say per fetcher which one applies, so verification means checking both; this index mirrors both.

What blocking it costs you

A researcher who explicitly added your page to a collection cannot load it.

curl -s 'https://www.pathwren.workers.dev/tools/verification-methods?crawler=google-pinpoint&s=client-dossiers'

/tools/verification-methods?crawler=google-pinpoint
How do I prove a request really is Google-Pinpoint? 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=107.178.192.0&ua=Google-Pinpoint
Is 107.178.192.0 really Google-Pinpoint? That address checked against every prefix this host mirrors. 107.178.192.0 is the first address of 107.178.192.0/27, 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.
