## 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 x402-orthogonal-com-ip-intelligence-029baed8
```

Example prompt: Can you check the IP address 203.0.113.45 and tell me if it's a VPN, Tor node, or proxy, and where it's geographically located?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need combined geolocation and security/fraud intelligence for an IP address in a single call. It is especially valuable for fraud prevention, access control, abuse detection, and geo-verification workflows where knowing both the location and the anonymization status of an IP matters. Prefer it over pure geolocation APIs when VPN/proxy/Tor detection is required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed IP address returns an error response
- Private/reserved IP ranges (e.g. 192.168.x.x) may return limited or no data
- IPv6 addresses may have reduced intelligence coverage
- Rate limits or payment failures result in 402 or 429 errors
- Very new or obscure IP ranges may have incomplete geolocation data

## How this service works

Get geolocation and security intelligence for an IP address including VPN, proxy, Tor, and abuse detection.

## Output

Returns a structured response containing geolocation fields (country, region, city, coordinates), network details (ISP, ASN, organization), and security flags indicating whether the IP is associated with a VPN, proxy, Tor exit node, or known abuse/malicious activity.
