I want to know how to check cache date of my website/ blogs in google, bing and yahoo. When I click on cache snapshot in google listing then it is saying that you are sending an automated query.
Can anybody tell me any tools to check cache in google, bing & yahoo??

Short update and a practical route to follow (the thread’s original tips like the old Google Toolbar or the classic cache operator are now unreliable). Google removed the documented cache: operator in September 2024 and the cached-link/noarchive behaviour was changed, so don’t rely on the toolbar/operator tips in earlier replies. (developers.google.com)

For Google: the reliable way is Google Search Console (URL Inspection). Verify the site, paste the full URL into URL Inspection and read the index/crawl details — that shows the last crawl and indexing state; use the URL Inspection API for programmatic checks. Note: “last crawl” from GSC is the authoritative crawl timestamp Google reports; the old cached snapshot link may not be available for every result anymore. (developers.google.com)

For Bing (and therefore Yahoo): use Bing Webmaster Tools (submit sitemaps, use the Inspect/URL tools and the URL submission API). Yahoo’s web search is served from Bing’s index, so Bing tools cover both. If you need a cached view from search results, Bing is the place to check. (bing.com)

To see multiple historical snapshots (answers was asking for): use the Internet Archive / Wayback Machine or archive.today — paste the full URL, inspect the calendar of captures and pick the dates you need. These archives keep many past copies when search-engine caches won’t. (waybackmachine.app)

Quick troubleshooting (avoids the “automated query” issues): stop hammering the public search UI; use Search Console / Bing Webmaster or the official APIs instead. Check server logs for exact bot activity (example): 

# find recent Google/Bing crawls in your access logs
grep -i 'googlebot' /var/log/nginx/access.log | tail -n 20
grep -i 'bingbot'   /var/log/nginx/access.log | tail -n 20

Also verify robots.txt, X‑Robots‑Tag/meta noarchive or cache-control headers if pages aren’t being cached or crawled.

If the search engine is telling you that you are sending an automated query, then theoctically you are then presenting an automated query. Consider sending it something more generitic. Becoming innovative is requested.

I would use the following operator on search field:
Cache:domain.com

This will result in a snapshot of what the domain.com looked like when the site was crawled last along with the last crawl/cache date.

Hope this helps.
We provide affordable seo services.

If you need more help, simply search for Google Search Operators on Google.com

Good Luck.

With the help of google toolbar you can do it.

Member Avatar for vanilla23

you can use cache operator as mentioned above but when you check again & again in google toolbar then it would consider you spam and showing message of automated query.

Member Avatar for Dani

Do a Google search for cache:www.domain.com/page.html

Edit: Oops, didn't realize this was page two of the thread, and the answer was already given.

Through Google Toolbar and another method is type in google -cache:domain name

Member Avatar for patriciaevansss

I agree with them... You can check it through Google Toolbar or install a SEOpen Toolbar. But if you prefer it doing in manual, you can just put: "cache:yourwebsite " simple as that.

Member Avatar for janejackson87

you can check manually
go to google.com and type

cache:domain name

or

"example.com"
