    Hi, I’m getting Google bot activity in the API Key Statistics panel. I want Google to map my website, though. Does this mean I need to whitelist the Google bot IP, and would doing so comprise security—are there spoofing bots that will use Google’s IP?

    Hi bookgeek!

    Google should never be blocked by the API so I just alerted proxycheck.io to check if this was happening. It was discovered that due to an issue today some Google IP’s were incorrectly detected by the automated detection system, this has now been corrected and proxycheck.io offers their apology for any inconvenience this may have caused you and thanks you for bringing this to attention. Further measures have been taken to prevent this from happening again.

    Rick.
