Detect proxy IP address connections instantly and accurately with our API.

Fraudsters, bots and malware can easily hide their true proxy detection API address and use proxies to mask their location when accessing online stores or other sites. These proxies can also be used to prevent security checks that prevent an offending IP address from continuing to attempt logins or orders.

Why Your Business Needs a Proxy Detection API: Benefits and Use Cases

Our proxy detection API is the most comprehensive tool to identify proxy IPs, VPNs, Tor exit nodes, search engine robots and residential proxies with a high probability of engaging in malicious activity. It identifies and ranks IP addresses in real-time and provides over 25 risk analysis data points to analyze the likelihood that a user is likely to engage in fraudulent behavior.
