Security Data

This includes information about whether the IP address is associated with VPNs, Tor exit nodes, or potential threat activity.

Security data is useful for:

  • Detecting suspicious or high-risk traffic
  • Preventing fraud, abuse, or automated attacks
  • Blocking or restricting access from anonymized networks
  • Adding lightweight security checks to authentication flows

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