How this service works
Network owner (ASN), company, geolocation, privacy flags and abuse contact for an IP address.
Output
A JSON object containing the IP's hostname, city, region, country, ASN number and name, company details, privacy flags (VPN, proxy, Tor, relay, hosting indicators), mobile carrier info, and an abuse contact, plus a payment receipt with the charge amount and settlement transaction hash.
Example use cases
Flagging suspicious login attempts
“I'm seeing logins from 198.51.100.22 — can you tell me what country it's from, who the network owner is, and whether it looks like a VPN or anonymizer?”
Enriching server access logs
“Look up 2001:db8::ff00:42:8329 and give me the company, ASN, geolocation, and any privacy flags so I can annotate my access logs.”
Reporting network abuse
“I need to file an abuse report — can you pull the abuse contact for the IP 192.0.2.15 along with its carrier and network owner?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://how.is/v1/ip?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need comprehensive IP intelligence in a single call — covering geolocation, ASN/company ownership, privacy flags (VPN/proxy/Tor detection), carrier, and abuse contacts simultaneously. It is especially suited for fraud detection pipelines, security log enrichment, abuse reporting workflows, or any agent task that needs to attribute a raw IP address to a real-world entity quickly and cheaply.
Side effects
- Invalid IP format returns an error — only well-formed IPv4 or IPv6 addresses are accepted
- Private/reserved IP ranges (e.g. 10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x) may return limited or no data
- Payment failure or insufficient balance causes the call to be rejected before processing
- Rate limiting or network issues may cause transient failures
