API reference/ip

Queue a bulk IP lookup run

POST/api/v1/ip/bulk

authentication
Secret API key as a bearer token
billing
Each row bills like a single lookup as it is processed; repeats inside the run and 7-day repeats are free.

Queues up to 100,000 addresses and processes them in the background. Creation answers 202 with the job's id and status. Poll GET /api/v1/ip/bulk/{jobId} for progress, then download the result CSV from GET /api/v1/ip/bulk/{jobId}/results: one row per input address with every response field as a column. Jobs and their files are kept for 30 days.

Rows repeating an address already in the list are looked up once and counted in duplicate_count. A run that exhausts the balance stops with stopped_reason: "insufficient_credits" and keeps everything answered so far. Because nothing about an IP lookup is stored, the input list and the result file are the only copies and both are deleted with the job.

With a webhook_url, the finish (completed, failed, or cancelled) is POSTed there as { "event": "bulk_ip_job.finished", "job": { … } }, signed in X-Spaw-Signature with the HMAC-SHA256 of the raw body keyed with webhook_secret, exactly like bulk email runs. Send an Idempotency-Key header to make creation safe to retry: a repeat of the same request answers the job the first attempt created, as 200 with Idempotent-Replayed: true; the same key with a different request answers 409 IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REUSED.

Parameters

name in type description
Idempotency-KeyheaderstringA value unique to this request, so a retry after a timeout answers the same job instead of queueing a second one. 1 to 128 characters.

Request body

field type description
ipsrequiredstring[]1 to 100,000 IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.
webhook_urlstring | nullAn https URL to notify when the run finishes.
privacyboolean | nullKeep nothing about these lookups; every address is billed as a fresh lookup.

        }
    }
}

200A retry with an `Idempotency-Key` already used for this exact request: the job the first attempt created, with `Idempotent-Replayed: true`.

{
    "success": true,
    "data": {
        "job": {
            "id": 512,
            "status": "processing",

401The key is missing, malformed, or revoked.

{
    "success": false,

        "code": "UNAUTHENTICATED",
        "message": "Provide a valid API key as a bearer token.",
        "request_id": "req_01m1kgdm4xngzmbmff68g94w0c"
    }
}

409The `Idempotency-Key` was already used for a different list or webhook URL.

{
    "success": false,
    "error": {
        "code": "IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REUSED",

    }

422The request body could not be validated; `error.errors` lists the fields.

{
    "success": false,
    "error": {
        "code": "VALIDATION_FAILED",
        "message": "The email field is required.",

        },
        "request_id": "req_01m1kgdm4xngzmbmff68g94w0c"
    }
}

429Over 5 requests per second for the key. Retry after the limit resets.

        "code": "RATE_LIMITED",
        "message": "Too many requests. Retry after the limit resets.",
