IP INTELLIGENCE API
Know who's really visiting your site
botBlocker classifies any IPv4 address as residential, datacenter, or VPN using public RDAP and DNS data. Protect your site from bots, understand your traffic, and make smarter decisions about access control.
Three-step IP intelligence
botBlocker uses a proven three-layer approach to classify IP addresses with high accuracy, combining multiple authoritative data sources.
1
Cymru DNS Lookup
Query the Team Cymru IP-to-ASN mapping service via DNS-over-HTTPS to identify the autonomous system and network registry.
2
ARIN RDAP Lookup
Query the American Registry for Internet Numbers REST API for detailed IP block ownership, registration type, and organization data.
3
Classification
Match organization names against datacenter, ISP, and VPN provider databases to deliver a verdict: datacenter, residential, VPN, or unknown.
