## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability ippulse-ip-lookup-c5f6b62b
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether 185.220.101.45 is a Tor exit node or VPN, get its geolocation and ASN, and show me its abuse score and any open ports?

## When to prefer this

Choose IPPulse when you need a combined view of IP reputation, geolocation, ASN, proxy/VPN/Tor detection, abuse scoring, and open ports in a single API call. Ideal for fraud prevention, access control, threat intelligence enrichment, and security auditing workflows where a per-IP pay-as-you-go model ($0.005/call) is preferred over subscription-based alternatives.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid IP format returns an error (e.g. non-IP string passed as path param)
- Private/reserved IP ranges (e.g. 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x) may return limited or no data
- Payment failure or insufficient balance returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate limiting may return 429 Too Many Requests
- Newly allocated or obscure IPs may return sparse reputation data
