# IP Private/Bogon Check

> IP Private/Bogon Check is a paid API for AI agents from intel.rallylive.ca, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Classifies an IPv4 address as public or private/bogon, identifying RFC1918, loopback, link-local, CGNAT, multicast, documentation, and reserved ranges

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://intel.rallylive.ca/ip/private-check
- Price: $0.01/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/ip-private-bogon-check-9e8237e3
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_dJBsQT0aCXMIvNPLms77-

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-private-bogon-check-9e8237e3
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether 10.0.0.1 is a private, bogon, or publicly routable IPv4 address — and tell me which specific range category it falls into?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, cheap ($0.01/call) per-IP classification of IPv4 addresses for input validation, log filtering, or security pipeline enrichment — particularly when you need granular bogon category detection (RFC1918, loopback, CGNAT, link-local, multicast, documentation, reserved) rather than just a binary public/private check.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or malformed IP address input returns a validation error
- IPv6 addresses may not be supported (endpoint targets IPv4)
- Network timeouts or upstream service unavailability
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the request

## How this service works

IP address classification: is it a valid IPv4, and is it public or private/RFC1918, loopback, link-local, CGNAT shared space, multicast, documentation or reserved (bogon)? Input validation and log filtering. $0.01 per IP.

## Output

Returns whether the given IPv4 address is valid, and classifies it into a specific address category: public (routable), RFC1918 private, loopback, link-local (169.254.x.x), CGNAT shared space (100.64.0.0/10), multicast, documentation range, or other reserved/bogon space.
