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.

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.
Can the API handle high volumes?+
Yes. The API is designed to handle large-scale volumes reliably without performance degradation.
How does API authentication work?+
Every API call is secured with one-time-use tokens generated using asymmetric cryptography. After signing up, you will receive your developer-key and secret-key for both UAT and production environments, which you can use to generate tokens for authenticating your API requests.
