## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need per-IP bot and AI crawler classification, especially for protecting creative content (art, music, voice) from AI scraping. It is purpose-built for identifying AI training crawlers rather than generic threat/spam IP databases, making it ideal for artists and content creators. Prefer this over general IP geolocation or generic threat intelligence APIs when your specific concern is AI scraper detection.

## Known failure modes

- Malformed IP address format causes lookup failure
- Unknown or unclassified IPs may return inconclusive results
- Payment of 0.01 USDC required per call via x402 protocol; unpaid requests are rejected
