API reference/ip

Look up an address by path

GET/api/v1/ip/{ip}

authentication
Secret API key as a bearer token
billing
As `POST /api/v1/ip`.

Exactly POST /api/v1/ip with the address in the path and the options in the query string, for callers that prefer a plain GET: GET /api/v1/ip/8.8.8.8?privacy=1. The response, billing and rate limit are the same.

Parameters

name in type description
iprequiredpathstringAn IPv4 or IPv6 address.
privacyquerybooleanKeep nothing about this lookup, not even the seven-day repeat marker.
abuse_contactquerybooleanAlso look up the network's abuse mailbox from the registry's RDAP record.
network_detailsquerybooleanAlso read the allocation's RDAP record for the network name, organisation, range and registration dates.
hostnamequerybooleanAlso resolve and forward-confirm the reverse DNS name; a verified crawler name sets is_crawler.
