IP Intelligence API benefits

VPN, proxy & Tor detection flagged on every IP
Known-abuse flags: spot IPs reported for abuse
Hosting & Apple Private Relay: datacenter and relay IPs detected
Everything in one request: risk signals, geolocation, company & ASN

VPN detection API

Every response carries a security object with a boolean is_vpn flag, so you can tell a VPN exit node from a residential connection in the same request that returns the location. Pair it with is_relay and is_mobile to separate privacy relays and carrier networks from the traffic you want to block or challenge.

Security flags returned: is_vpn, is_proxy, is_tor, is_hosting, is_relay, is_mobile, is_abuse. Each one is a boolean, so a rule is one comparison.

Proxy detection API

The same call returns is_proxy for datacenter and residential proxies, is_tor for Tor exit nodes and is_hosting for cloud and hosting ranges, plus is_abuse for addresses with abuse potential. You decide at signup, checkout or login with one request instead of stitching together several blocklists.

FAQ about Abstract's IP Intelligence API

IP Geolocation vs IP Intelligence: which one do I need?
Use IP Geolocation when you need to know where an IP is: city, region, country, lat/long, and timezone. Use IP Intelligence when you need to know how risky it is: VPN, proxy, Tor, hosting, and abuse flags. IP Intelligence returns the geolocation fields too, so reach for it whenever risk is part of the decision.
What does Abstract's IP Intelligence API detect?
Every lookup flags whether an IP is a VPN, proxy, Tor exit node, hosting or datacenter address, Apple Private Relay, or mobile connection, and whether it has known abuse activity. It returns those risk signals alongside geolocation, ASN, the owning company, and any domains hosted on the IP, in a single request.
Does the API return a fraud score?
It returns clear true/false risk signals rather than one opaque number. For every IP you get separate flags for VPN, proxy, Tor, hosting, relay, and abuse, so you can write your own rules and block on the signals that matter to your use case, instead of trusting a black-box score.
Does it include ASN, company, and location data?
Yes. Alongside the risk flags, each response includes the IP's ASN (number, name, and type), the company or ISP that owns it, full geolocation down to the city, the timezone, and any domains hosted on that IP. You can also look up an ASN on its own with our free ASN Lookup tool.
Is there a free tier, and do I need a credit card?
Yes. The free plan includes 1,000 requests a month with no credit card required, so you can build and test before you upgrade. Paid plans start at $17 a month, with higher request volumes and faster rate limits as you scale.
Can I use it in real time?
Yes. It's a real-time REST API that returns JSON on every request, so you can call it inline at sign-up, checkout, or login without running batch jobs. It's backed by a 99.99% uptime SLA, and you can run lists through it when you need to check IPs in bulk.
