IP Threat Intelligence
POST

IP Threat Intelligence API — real-time risk signals for an IPv4 or IPv6 address. Returns a threat_score from 0 to 100 (higher is riskier) alongside the individual flags behind it: is_tor, is_proxy, is_residential_proxy, is_vpn, is_relay, is_anonymous, is_known_attacker, is_bot, is_spam and is_cloud_provider — plus detected provider names and confidence scores for the proxy and VPN verdicts. ip_address is optional: omit it and the IP that called this API is looked up. Built for login-risk checks, signup fraud screening and payment review. Use the bulk endpoint to screen many addresses in one call.
