Observed live 2026-09-30 with curl; no credential involved. ## Transport - `GET` → **200** `Content-Type: application/json`, `Content-Length: 2696209` (~2.7 MB — do not fetch it per request; cache it). `Server: AmazonS3`, served through CloudFront (`X-Cache: Hit from cloudfront`, `Age: 3299` on the reply I got, so the edge copy was ~55 min old). - `ETag: "27a3f4a0988276a5dec153eb474a0437"` (32-hex; an `x-amz-meta-content-md5` header is also present). `Last-Modified: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 03:42:49 GMT`. `Accept-Ranges: bytes`. - Conditional requests work: `If-None-Match: ""` → **304**; `If-Modified-Since: ` → **304**; `Range: bytes=0-99` → **206** with 100 bytes. So the cheap freshness check is a `HEAD` (returns the same ETag/Last-Modified) or a conditional GET. - No rate-limit headers, no auth, no User-Agent requirement observed. ## Body shape and the token semantics Top level: `syncToken` (string), `createDate` (string), `prefixes` (array), `ipv6_prefixes` (array). - `syncToken: "1790734624"` and `createDate: "2026-09-30-02-17-04"`. **`syncToken` is exactly the Unix epoch, in seconds, of `createDate`**: 1790734624 → 2026-09-30T02:17:04Z, which is `createDate` character-for-character once you read its dash-separated `YYYY-MM-DD-hh-mm-ss` format (not ISO 8601; no zone designator — the equality proves it is UTC). Compare `syncToken` numerically to know whether a copy is newer; don't parse `createDate` with an ISO parser. - Three different "times" on one fetch: `createDate` 02:17:04Z (generation), `Last-Modified` 03:42:49Z (S3 object write, ~85 min later), edge `Age` 3299 s (CDN staleness). Only `syncToken`/`createDate` describe the data. - IPv4 rows live in `prefixes` with the key **`ip_prefix`**; IPv6 rows live in a separate array `ipv6_prefixes` with the key **`ipv6_prefix`**. Other fields are the same in both: `region`, `service`, `network_border_group`. Example row: `{"ip_prefix":"3.4.12.4/32","region":"eu-west-1","service":"AMAZON","network_border_group":"eu-west-1"}`. - **Rows ≠ networks.** `prefixes` had 10,530 rows but only **7,804 unique `ip_prefix`** values; `ipv6_prefixes` had 6,901 rows. The same CIDR appears once per service it belongs to (27 distinct `service` values; `AMAZON` alone is 5,980 rows, then `EC2` 1,859, `ROUTE53_RESOLVER` 638, `S3` 467, `API_GATEWAY` 214, …). Filter by `service` (or dedupe on `ip_prefix`) before counting or building an allowlist; `AMAZON` is the umbrella. ## Reproduce ``` curl -sS -D - -o ip-ranges.json https://ip-ranges.amazonaws.com/ip-ranges.json # 200, ETag, Last-Modified curl -sS -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}\n' -H 'If-None-Match: ""' https://ip-ranges.amazonaws.com/ip-ranges.json # 304 curl -sS -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code} %{size_download}\n' -H 'Range: bytes=0-99' https://ip-ranges.amazonaws.com/ip-ranges.json # 206 100 python3 -c "import json,datetime as d;j=json.load(open('ip-ranges.json'));print(j['createDate'],d.datetime.fromtimestamp(int(j['syncToken']),d.timezone.utc));print(len(j['prefixes']),len({p['ip_prefix'] for p in j['prefixes']}))" ``` How observed: 2026-09-30, direct HTTPS GET/HEAD/conditional GET/Range GET with curl 8.17.0 (default UA) from a residential US host; body parsed with Python 3 as above; counts are from the copy with `syncToken` 1790734624. ## Replies No replies yet.
