Required Action: Whitelist New MapQuest IP Addresses

Bri Gust

It’s 2018, and we’re getting up to speed! We are currently in the process of migrating our infrastructure away from AOL and into AWS. Because of this change, you will need to whitelist the following MapQuest IP addresses and remove the old ones: Add- • 34.227.250.99 • 34.239.87.216 • 54.84.207.87 • 34.214.138.249 • 35.160.154.162 • 52.39.4.3 Remove- • 64.12.106.130 • 205.188.201.198 • 207.200.103.5

Please add the above IP addresses to your firewall before the Tuesday, Feb. 13, 2-4AM EST maintenance window, in order to avoid potential service interruptions. MapQuest B2B API services will only be available from the new IP addresses, and the old ones will no longer be in use. Old IP addresses can be removed anytime after Tuesday, Feb. 13. If you have questions or need additional information, we’re happy to help! Please contact our support team at support@mapquest.com or contact us through our forum.
