Proxy detection API documentation to reduce fraud and security threats on your online platforms and applications. The API identifies whether an IP is, or has ever been, associated with a proxy or VPN service. This information can help prevent payment fraud on e-commerce websites, protect against automated hacking attempts (XSS & SQLi), prevent fraudulent account creation on SaaS platforms, and more.
The Proxy Detection API leverages a database of known proxy IP ranges to identify whether an incoming connection is attempting to anonymize its traffic. It also determines whether an incoming connection is behind a residential or corporate proxy, or if it’s using Tor exit nodes. The API is used by businesses and organizations across a wide variety of industries including e-commerce, streaming media, iGaming, and research universities & institutions.
Identify Malicious IP Traffic with Advanced Detection Tools
The API provides developers with reliable insights in milliseconds, so they can act quickly and make informed decisions about protecting their users and systems. It can help reduce fraud on e-commerce websites, protect online gaming communities against automated hacking attempts (XSS / SQLi), ensure the integrity of research data and academic collaboration, and more. It also helps SaaS platform administrators avoid unauthorized account creation through bots by identifying and flagging proxies, Tor exit nodes, and other suspicious connections. It can even be integrated into SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) systems to prioritize and triage alerts from connections that are suspected of being associated with proxy services or other types of anonymization.
