About IPCheckly
IPCheckly is an IP intelligence API that returns geolocation, ASN, company, WHOIS and privacy data for any IP address. Lookups cover location with radius and confidence levels, detection of VPNs, proxies, Tor, private relays and hosting networks, residential proxy identification, and network ownership across IPv4 and IPv6. Data is drawn from BGP data, regional internet registries such as RIPE, ARIN, APNIC and AFRINIC, and machine learning.
The API returns structured JSON, supports CORS and JSONP, and accepts batch requests of up to 100 IPs at once. Code examples are provided for PHP, cURL, Node.js, Python, JavaScript and Go. A security layer includes an Abuse Score that rates threat levels from 0 to 100, botnet blocking, and payment anti-fraud checks that match billing addresses to IP location.
Developers and security teams use it to filter traffic, block fraud, route users to nearby servers, personalize content by location and auto-fill forms. The company behind it is Smart Service Tools Ltd., based in Great Britain.
