Know whether an IP is a real home connection — with evidence, not a black box.
IPBGP scores any IPv4/IPv6 for residential trust, connection type, VPN / proxy / residential-proxy, and abuse — and shows you the signed, human-readable reasons behind every verdict. Built on data we collect ourselves and a measurement fleet we operate ourselves.

-H "Authorization: Bearer ipbgp_live_xxx"JSON in milliseconds: classification, trust score, evidence, network topology, geolocation, anonymization & abuse signals.
Explainable by design
Every score ships with trust.reasons — signed, neutral, human-readable evidence with positive/negative impact. Tune your rules with confidence instead of trusting a number.
Residential-proxy detection
The hard case others miss: IPs that look residential but are sold as proxy exit nodes. We catch them with network topology + our own active measurement.
BGP & AS evidence
Customer-cone size, upstreams, prefix stability, RPKI, anycast — routing-layer judgement, not just a geo database lookup.
First-party intelligence, end to end
We don't resell someone else's database. We collect routing and registry data continuously, run our own global detection nodes for active measurement, and fuse them into a single trust verdict with a transparent evidence trail.
- Continuous BGP, RPKI & registry ingestion
- Our own measurement fleet probes connectivity & TLS posture
- One fused verdict — classification, trust, evidence, risks
- Field depth scales with your plan; the calculation never changes
Common questions
What does the trust score mean?+
A 0–100 estimate of how likely an IP is a genuine end-user / residential connection versus hosting, datacenter, or an anonymizing service. Every score ships with trust.reasons — the signed, human-readable evidence behind it — so you can tune rules instead of trusting a number.
How is this different from a plain IP-to-geo database?+
A static database tells you where an address is registered. IPBGP judges what an address is — residential, hosting, mobile, VPN/proxy, or a residential-proxy exit — from live routing data and our own active measurement, and shows you the evidence trail for every verdict.
What is residential-proxy detection?+
The hard case other tools miss: IPs that look like ordinary home connections but are sold as proxy exit nodes. We surface them by combining network topology with measurements from our own detection nodes.
Do you support IPv6?+
Yes — full IPv4 and IPv6 coverage, scored by the same verdict engine.
How do API keys, scopes and environments work?+
You authenticate with a Bearer key. Keys carry scopes (ip:read, bulk:read, dataset:download) and come in live and test variants. The full secret is shown exactly once on creation — we only ever store a hash and a display prefix.
What are the rate limits and quotas?+
Both scale with your plan. Every response carries RateLimit-Limit, RateLimit-Remaining and RateLimit-Reset headers; a 429 includes Retry-After so you can back off precisely.
Can I try it before signing up?+
Yes — run a live, unauthenticated lookup right on this page, then start on the free tier (1,000 lookups/month, no card required).
How does payment work?+
Card subscriptions are handled by Stripe — we never see or store card numbers. For prepaid usage you can top up your balance with Alipay or WeChat Pay (prepaid balance is non-refundable).
