Overview
Google-GeminiNotebook is a fetcher associated with Google, used for fetching individual source URLs supplied by Gemini Notebook users.
Its primary user-agent pattern is Google-GeminiNotebook; related patterns include Gemini Notebook fetcher; former Google-NotebookLM; a representative HTTP user-agent is Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/137.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 (compatible; Google-GeminiNotebook; +https://developers.google.com/crawling/docs/crawlers-fetchers/google-gemininotebook).
Google-GeminiNotebook is verified with High confidence. The identity type is Official Documented.
Google-GeminiNotebook may ignore robots.txt because the request is user-triggered, signed, or otherwise outside normal autonomous crawler behavior. Use authenticated access controls or network policy when enforcement is required.
This is the current replacement for Google-NotebookLM; Google supports the former token only through August 2026.
Treat the user-agent or identity as a claim and corroborate it with published network data, reverse DNS, signed-request evidence, or current operator documentation when available.

- Detection Notes
- Google-GeminiNotebook traffic is primarily detected by `Google-GeminiNotebook`; related patterns include `Gemini Notebook fetcher; former Google-NotebookLM`; a representative HTTP user-agent is `Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/137.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 (compatible; Google-GeminiNotebook; +https://developers.google.com/crawling/docs/crawlers-fetchers/google-gemininotebook)`. Treat these values as identification claims and corroborate them with source-network ownership, reverse DNS, signed request data, or current operator documentation.
- Respects robots.txt
- No
- Spoofing Risk
- Google-GeminiNotebook can be spoofed if identification relies only on a user-agent string; corroborate the request with stronger operator-controlled evidence when available.
