# IP Fraud & Reputation Score Checker

> IP Fraud & Reputation Score Checker is a paid API for AI agents from api.fadeandco.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-29).

Returns country, ISP, ASN, Tor exit node status, proxy/VPN flag, and hosting/datacenter flag for an IPv4 address, plus a LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH risk level derived from those flags.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability ip-fraud-reputation-score-checker-28480901
```

Example prompt: Can you check if 203.0.113.45 is a Tor exit node, VPN, or datacenter IP, and give me its country and ISP along with a risk level?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, lightweight type-based IP classification — specifically whether an IP is Tor, VPN/proxy, or datacenter — without needing full abuse-history or spam-score data. Ideal for fraud pre-screening, access log enrichment, or gating logic where anonymous-network detection is the primary concern. Prefer alternatives if you need abuse report history, spam blacklist status, or threat intelligence beyond network-type flags.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or malformed IP query parameter returns an error
- Private or reserved IP ranges (e.g. 192.168.x.x) may return limited or no ISP/country data
- ip-api.com rate limits on the free tier may cause failures under heavy non-commercial load
- IPv6 addresses are not supported (IPv4 only per schema)
- Transient upstream failures from ip-api.com or the Tor exit list fetch can cause 5xx responses

## How this service works

IP type check: country, ISP and ASN, whether the address is a known Tor exit (Tor Project's public list), a proxy or VPN and a hosting/datacenter address (ip-api.com flags), and a LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH level from those flags. It is not a threat score: no abuse-report or spam history is included. ip-api's free tier is for non-commercial use only.

## Output

A JSON object containing the queried IP, its country, ISP, ASN, organization name, boolean flags for mobile/hosting/Tor exit/proxy-or-VPN, an overall LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH risk level, the data sources used, and a UTC timestamp of when the check was performed. Note: this reflects type-based flags only — no abuse reports or spam history are included.
