What "verified" means for OAI-AdsBot

For OAI-AdsBot, "verified" means DataSaaS compares the request IP against OpenAI's published ranges. A request carrying this user agent from any other IP is recorded as unverified.

Track it

OAI-AdsBot fetches raw HTML and never runs JavaScript, so no browser tag can see it. Install the DataSaaS server-side package to record every request and verify the ones that publish IP ranges.
