About GetIPIntel
GetIPIntel is an IP reputation service that estimates how likely an address is to be a proxy, a VPN, a hosting provider or otherwise untrustworthy. Given an address, the API returns a probabilistic value between zero and one. A value of one means the address appears on a dynamic block list as a web host, VPN endpoint or Tor node; anything below that is inferred with machine learning and probability techniques applied to large, continuously refreshed datasets.
It is used for fraud prevention rather than attack tooling. Documented applications include reducing payment fraud on online stores, blocking automated scanning and brute force attempts, stopping content scrapers, preventing promotion abuse and repeated signups, cutting fake views and clicks, and catching users who evade bans. The operator states that billions of records are parsed each month and that stale records expire automatically. An optional flag enables residential proxy detection. The documentation is explicit about the assumptions behind the score: the address being checked should be one contacting your service at the application layer, and infrastructure addresses belonging to your own servers or partners should be whitelisted rather than looked up.
The service is published as free and requires no API key, and the site carries no pricing page, no plan names and no paid tiers; its structured data lists a price of zero. Anyone planning high volume or commercial use should confirm the current terms with the operator directly, since limits are not set out on the public pages.
The operator invites users to compare its results against paid alternatives, noting that detection techniques differ enough between vendors to produce visibly different answers.
