# Perplexity

**Perplexity**: Use their official JSON feeds for CIDRs: `perplexitybot.json` (crawler) and `perplexity-user.json` (user-initiated fetcher). Paste those CIDRs into your transform and tag accordingly. Note: Cloudflare reports “stealth” crawling from undeclared IPs, so IP-only matching can miss traffic. [Perplexity+2The Cloudflare Blog+2](https://docs.perplexity.ai/guides/bots)
