Observed: OAI-SearchBot

Daily request counts and verified share for OAI-SearchBot.

The OAI-SearchBot observation record on Rattlesnakes By Mail counts every request that Rattlesnakes By Mail logged from OAI-SearchBot, day by day. Each daily row states the request count, the share of requests whose identity matched the vendor's published IP ranges or reverse DNS, and the formats served. A row appears only after Rattlesnakes By Mail logged at least one request from OAI-SearchBot. Raw per-request rows are never exported, and every IP address is hashed with SHA-256 salted by the date before storage.

An unverified request is a request whose source IP address was outside the vendor's published ranges and whose reverse DNS did not resolve to the vendor; an unverified request is not proof of spoofing.

Today: 1 requests, 1 verified.
