Connection Data

This includes the Autonomous System Number (ASN) and the name of the organization or ISP that owns or operates the IP block.

Connection data is useful for:

• Identifying the network or ISP behind a request
• Personalizing or adjusting content based on network type
• Detecting traffic from specific providers (e.g., cloud services, telecom networks)

Below is an example of the connection-related fields returned by a lookup:

Request Example

   GET https://api.ipwho.org/ip/76.102.11.203?apiKey=sk.xxxx&get=connection

Response Example

{
    "success": true,
        "data": {
            "connection": {
                "asn_number": 15169,
                "asn_org": "GOOGLE",
                "isp": "Google",
                "org": "Google",
                "domain": null,

            }

}
