# Polyform Scanner IP Blocklist

> Polyform Scanner IP Blocklist is a paid API for AI agents from api.polyform.org, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns up to 500 of the most recent IPs caught probing Polyform's honeypot paths (credential and vulnerability scanners), with first-seen timestamps.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://api.polyform.org/v1/threat/scanners
- Price: $0.01/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown

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 polyform-scanner-ip-blocklist-08a9ecb3
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest list of IPs that have been caught scanning Polyform's honeypot paths — I want to use them to update my blocklist with the most recent credential and vulnerability scanner IPs.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fresh, first-party honeypot telemetry on active credential and vulnerability scanners rather than a repackaged public blocklist. It is especially valuable when you want IPs that have been caught probing real infrastructure (/.env, vuln paths) with a first-seen timestamp, for use in dynamic blocklists, firewall rules, or threat research. Prefer this over generic IP reputation feeds when honeypot-sourced, single-provider freshness is a priority.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient USDC — returns 402 Payment Required
- Service temporarily unavailable — returns 5xx error
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded — returns 429 Too Many Requests
- Empty result set if no recent scanner activity has been recorded

## How this service works

Recent IPs caught probing Polyform's honeypot paths (credential/vuln scanners) — Polyform's own first-party telemetry, not a repackaged public list. Returns up to 500 most-recent scanner IPs with first-seen. For blocklists and threat research. JSON.

## Output

A JSON object containing a count of returned IPs and an array of scanner records, each with the scanner's IP address, the honeypot path it probed (e.g. /.env), and the ISO 8601 first-seen timestamp. Returns up to 500 of the most recent scanner IPs.
