API reference/ip

Look up the address the call came from

GET/api/v1/ip/me

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

Runs the standard lookup for the address your request arrived from, as seen through the trusted proxy in front of the service. Useful from a server to confirm what the outside world sees, and from scripts that need their own egress classified. A reserved address, such as a call from the same machine, answers reason: "reserved_range" free of charge.

Parameters

name in type description
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.

import requests

response = requests.get(
    'https://spaw.co/api/v1/ip/me',
    headers={'Authorization': 'Bearer sk_live_…'},
)
result = response.json()
$ch = curl_init('https://spaw.co/api/v1/ip/me');
curl_setopt_array($ch, [
