IP Verification API for Fraud Prevention & Geo-Compliance
Verify IP addresses in real time — detect proxies, geo-locate users, and assess risk scores for fraud prevention and geo-compliance workflows.
Overview
The IP Verification API enables businesses to geo-locate IP addresses, detect proxies and VPNs, and assess risk scores. Use it for fraud prevention, geo-compliance, and user location verification.
What Can You Verify With IP Verification API?
Key details returned across all IP Verification API endpoints, ready to power your KYC and onboarding workflows.
Proxy Type
Classification of the connection type (e.g. None, VPN, DCH for data-centre hosting, RES for residential proxy, etc.).
Country Code
ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code for the IP address.
Country Name
Full country name corresponding to the country code.
Region Name
State or region within the country where the IP is geolocated.
City Name
City within the region where the IP is geolocated.
City Risk Score
Risk score (0–100) for the geolocated city, based on cybersecurity threat intelligence and historical crime/fraud data for that city. Higher scores indicate greater risk.
Proxy Type Risk Score
Risk score (0–100) for the detected proxy type. A score of 0 means a clean residential or direct connection; higher scores indicate proxy/VPN or data-centre traffic associated with fraud.

Frequently Asked Questions
What details are returned?+
The API returns IP address, proxy type, country code and name, region, city, city risk score, and proxy-type risk score.
Can it detect VPNs?+
Yes. The API identifies proxy type including VPN, residential proxy, data center proxy, and other classifications.
How is the risk score calculated?+
Risk scores are based on factors like cybersecurity threats, proxy type classification, and historical threat intelligence for the city and connection type.
Is this suitable for real-time fraud checks?+
Yes. The API is designed for inline transaction-level fraud checks with sub-second response times.
How do I get started?+
Sign up at ekostore.app/eps, verify your identity with your PAN and address details, load your wallet to test the verification APIs live, then integrate and go live.
What is EPS?+
EPS (Eko Platform Services) is the technology arm of Eko, providing the developer tools, AI tools, and APIs that power modern fintech integration.
What are the different ways to integrate with Eko EPS?+
Integrate in whichever way suits your stack: call the REST APIs directly, use our official SDKs (JavaScript and PHP) to skip request-signing boilerplate, or let an AI coding agent build the integration using our MCP server and skills. See the Developers and AI sections for each path.
How does API authentication work?+
Each request carries your static `developer_key` header plus a per-request `secret-key` header — an HMAC-SHA256 signature of the current timestamp, keyed by your access key. The access key itself is never sent over the wire. You receive UAT keys on signup and production keys after KYC.
Is there a sandbox environment for testing?+
Yes. A full sandbox environment is available immediately on signup. You can test your integration end-to-end before going live — no commitment required.
What are the sandbox and production base URLs?+
Sandbox and production share the same paths and differ only by base URL: use https://staging.eko.in/ekoapi/v3 for UAT / Sandbox, and https://api.eko.in/ekoicici/v3 for Production. A common cause of failures is calling the sandbox/staging URL with live credentials (or vice-versa) — make sure the base URL matches the keys you are using.
Do I need to whitelist my server IP?+
Production API access may require your static public (server) IP to be whitelisted. If your calls work from Postman but fail or time out from your own server, share your static public IP with us so we can whitelist it.
What response times can I expect?+
Most verification APIs return in real time with sub-second responses, and 99th-percentile latency stays under two seconds across verification endpoints. Transaction APIs (DMT, AePS, BBPS) respond within seconds.
Can the API handle high volumes?+
Yes. The API is designed to handle large-scale volumes reliably without performance degradation.
How is API usage billed?+
Usage is billed per successful API call with no minimum commitment. Volume-based pricing tiers are available — contact our team for detailed rates.
