2ip bot: a recorded crawler identifier

The identifier 2ip bot appears in a crawler record kept by this site. A user-agent is a string supplied by a client with its request: it can suggest how that client presents itself, but it does not prove its operator, purpose or permission to access a resource.

Historical record

  • IP address: 54.37.204.35.
  • Country recorded by the site: France.

Recorded user-agent:

2ip bot/1.1 (+http://2ip.io)

This is a historical entry, not a current IP allocation or a verified list of trusted addresses. The URL inside the identifier is part of the reported string, not evidence that the request came from that site's operator.

What to check in your server logs

Review the timestamp and time zone, source IP, HTTP method, requested path and response status together. Check whether requests concern ordinary public pages, repeatedly cause errors or attempt to reach protected files. A bot name alone is not enough to decide whether a request is useful or harmful.

Do not create an allowlist based only on the user-agent. If requests cause a problem, review the relevant hosting access controls and rate limits. Credentials, backups and private files should not become accessible merely because a client identifies itself as a crawler.
