// Network

Official IP ranges

Mistral has not published official IP ranges that Aiola successfully fetched for MistralAI-User. Aiola does not list cloud-provider ranges or community guesses as if they authenticated this crawler.

// Verification

Verify authenticity

Start with the source IP recorded by your trusted edge or server, not an untrusted forwarded header.

Reverse- and forward-DNS double lookup
host REQUEST_IP
# Confirm the hostname ends in an official suffix
host RETURNED_HOSTNAME
# The forward lookup must return REQUEST_IP

For production checks, test against every current prefix in the vendor feed. Re-fetch feeds regularly: a July 2026 snapshot is evidence of publication, not a permanent firewall list.

// Robots.txt

Control it with robots.txt

MistralAI-User is user-triggered. Mistral's controls may differ from automated crawling, so do not assume a robots.txt block is an authentication boundary.

Allow MistralAI-User
User-agent: MistralAI-User
Allow: /
Block MistralAI-User
User-agent: MistralAI-User
Disallow: /

No official crawler documentation URL is listed because Aiola could not verify one confidently.
