Look up up to 1,000 addresses in one call

billing
Each address bills like a single lookup — 1 credit for a fresh answered lookup, reserved ranges, unknown addresses and 7-day repeats free — and the call stops cleanly where the balance ends.

Runs the single-address lookup for every item, in input order, under the exact single-lookup billing rules. Every answer comes from local databases and compiled feeds, so a full batch of 1,000 takes well under a second. data.results[] mirrors the single-address response per item and each item's meta carries credits_used and cache_hit.

Repeats inside the list are looked up once and answer as cache hits. The list is walked in order and stops where the balance would run out: running out of credits mid-batch returns the paid partial results with meta.stopped_reason: "insufficient_credits" and processed lower than requested, never discarding billed work. Only a batch whose first lookup is refused answers the typed 402. An item that is not an IP address fails validation for the whole request.

A batch counts as one request against the rate limit. privacy applies to every address in the list.
