    just discovered this today in nginx log:
    66.249.64.49 - - [25/Feb/2022:17:07:25 -0700] "GET /wp-json/wp-statistics/v2/hit?_=1643328000&_wpnonce=61c87eb4df&wp_statistics_hit_rest=yes&browser=Googlebot&platform=Unknown&version=Unknown&referred=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.it-cooking.com&ip=66.249.64.53&exclusion_match=yes&exclusion_reason=CrawlerDetect&ua=Mozilla%2F5.0+%28Linux%3B+Android+6.0.1%3B+Nexus+5X+Build%2FMMB29P%29+AppleWebKit%2F537.36+%28KHTML%2C+like+Gecko%29+Chrome%2F98.0.4758.102+Mobile+Safari%2F537.36+%28compatible%3B+Googlebot%2F2.1%3B+%2Bhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fbot.html%29&track_all=0&timestamp=1643328000&current_page_type=post_tag&current_page_id=72&search_query&page_uri=/tag/batch/&user_id=0 HTTP/2.0"

    When i access this url, i get at 403 for missing token.
    The ip in reference is that of a known google bot.

    So, did you give a token for direct access to google to our statistics?
    yes or no?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi,

    You can’t access the URL in the browser, the request works only if it sends through the website.

    Anyway, can you please let me know what’s the response to the request? you can see the response in Developer Tools > Network > hits request > Response
