What is the Abstract IP Intelligence API?

The Abstract IP Intelligence API is a powerful tool that provides detailed information about an IP address, including its geolocation, ISP, domain, connection type, security information, and more.

How accurate is the IP Intelligence API?

The Abstract IP Intelligence API is built on a regularly updated database with over 2.25 million unique locations and detailed IP-related data. Accuracy depends on the IP type and network, but we strive for the highest precision possible.

What kind of data does the API provide?

The API provides data such as geolocation (country, region, city), ISP name, connection type (residential, business, etc.), domain, timezone, currency, and risk assessments (e.g., proxy or VPN detection).

What are common use cases for the IP Intelligence API?

Use cases include fraud prevention by detecting risky IPs, personalized user experiences (e.g., showing local content or currency), compliance with regional regulations (e.g., GDPR), and enhancing website security by identifying suspicious activities.

How does the Abstract API detect VPNs or proxies?

The API cross-references IP data with known VPN and proxy databases, analyzes connection patterns, and uses advanced detection algorithms to identify potentially anonymized IP addresses.

Is the API suitable for real-time use?

Yes, the Abstract IP Intelligence API is optimized for real-time use with low latency, making it ideal for applications such as fraud detection and personalized content delivery.

Can the API help with compliance requirements?

Absolutely. The API can help identify user locations to enforce compliance with regulations like GDPR, ensuring users from specific regions are shown appropriate terms or consent banners.

How often is the IP intelligence data updated?

Our IP intelligence database is updated weekly to ensure the most accurate and up-to-date information is available for users.

What if I notice incorrect data in the API response?

If you notice any discrepancies in the API response, please report them to us at team@abstractapi.com. Verified reports may even earn you extra credits as a thank-you!

Does the Abstract IP Intelligence API have a free tier?

Yes, we offer a free tier with generous usage limits so you can test the API and explore its features before committing to a paid plan.
