What it is

The image variant of GoogleOther: one-off fetches by Google product and research teams that are not Search. It also answers to a GoogleOther group in robots.txt.

What blocking it costs you

Google teams outside Search stop fetching your images. Image Search itself is unaffected — that is Googlebot-Image.

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

/tools/verification-methods?crawler=googleother-image
How do I prove a request really is GoogleOther-Image? 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=GoogleOther-Image
Is 108.177.2.0 really GoogleOther-Image? 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.
