Gary Illyes from Google famous that the listing of Googlebot IP addresses that Google began to publish in 2021 and has up to date final month is definitely maintained in real-time by pulling straight from the “manufacturing techniques’ configuration recordsdata,” he stated.
Gary posted this tidbit of knowledge on LinkedIn hinting that the Googlebot IP netblocks listing is just not the one factor that’s pulled from manufacturing recordsdata into the Google assist paperwork.
Gary wrote, “Do you know that some info on builders.google.com/search/docs is robotically pulled from our manufacturing techniques’ configuration recordsdata? For instance, the Googlebot IP netblocks is a type of issues ( builders.google.com/static/search/apis/ipranges/googlebot.json).” He added that they could do a podcast about this info.
I imply, it is sensible to replace some technical particulars like lists from a dwell system to the assistance paperwork. However on the identical time, you don’t need a bug to affect the assistance docs – however I suppose if it does, perhaps extra individuals would discover and Google can repair it sooner?
