# New Location for the Google Crawlers' IP Range Files

Tuesday, March 31, 2026

Just a short note this time!


Currently, you find the JSON files listing Google's IP ranges under the
`/search/apis/ipranges/` directory on
`developers.google.com`. Since these ranges apply to more than
just Google Search crawlers, we're moving them to a more general location:
`developers.google.com/crawling/ipranges/`.


We've already
[updated our documentation](https://developers.google.com/crawling/docs/crawlers-fetchers/overview-google-crawlers)
to point to this new location. For the time being, the files will continue
to be available at the old `/search/` path as well to give
everyone time to update their systems. However, we encourage you to switch to
the new `/crawling/ipranges/` path as soon as possible. We will
eventually phase out the old locations and redirect them to the new ones
within 6 months.
