Verifying ChatGPT-User (OpenAI)

The user agent string ChatGPT-User can be faked by anyone, and scrapers often pretend to be well-known bots to get past rate limits. Before you treat a request as ChatGPT-User (OpenAI):

Check that the request IP is inside one of the prefixes above (the checker on this page does exactly that).
Load the list from the official source on a schedule; do not hard-code it.
Allow the verified bot in your firewall or bot protection, and rate-limit or challenge requests that only claim to be it.

To control access, use robots.txt: User-agent: ChatGPT-User followed by Disallow: / blocks the bot entirely; a path-specific Disallow excludes only parts of your site.

Frequently asked questions

What are the IP ranges of ChatGPT-User (OpenAI)?

ChatGPT-User (OpenAI) publishes 230 IPv4 and 0 IPv6 prefixes (36,432 IPv4 addresses in total) in its official list at https://openai.com/chatgpt-user.json. This page shows the current list and refreshes it from the source every 6 hours.

How do I verify that a request really comes from ChatGPT-User (OpenAI)?

Anyone can send the user agent ChatGPT-User. Check that the IP address of the request is in the official list (use the checker on this page), or do a reverse DNS lookup followed by a forward lookup as described in the official documentation.

How often do the ChatGPT-User (OpenAI) IP ranges change?

Providers add and remove ranges regularly, sometimes several times a week. Do not hard-code the list: load it from the official source (or this page's JSON) on a schedule, for example daily.

How do I allow only ChatGPT-User (OpenAI) in nginx?

Download the nginx format on this page and include it in a location block: one 'allow' line per prefix followed by 'deny all;'. Regenerate the file regularly, because the list changes.
