Comprehensive IP Intelligence: Interzoid's IP Address Profile API
Understanding who's accessing your systems is critical for security, lead qualification, and compliance. Whether you need to block malicious traffic, identify high-value prospects, or enforce geographic restrictions, having detailed IP intelligence is essential. Instead of piecing together information from multiple sources, Interzoid's IP Address Profile API provides comprehensive IP intelligence including organization names, reputation scores, geolocation, CIDR blocks, and abuse contacts in a single API call. This guide explains what it provides, why it's useful, and how to get started with your own API key.

What It Provides
The API leverages multiple threat intelligence sources, real-time reputation analysis, and advanced geolocation databases to deliver comprehensive IP address intelligence. For each IP address you submit, you receive:
- IP protocol version (IPv4 or IPv6)
- Autonomous System Number (ASN)
- Organization or ISP name
- CIDR block information
- Reverse DNS hostname (when available)
- Accurate city-level geolocation
- Abuse contact information
- Detailed reputation assessment with security insights
This comprehensive intelligence helps you strengthen security, qualify leads, enforce compliance requirements, and enhance analytics across your web applications, marketing systems, and security infrastructure.
Use Cases
- Threat Detection: Block malicious IPs, identify bot traffic, and prevent fraud by analyzing reputation scores and abuse history before granting system access.
- Lead Qualification: Enhance lead scoring by identifying visitor organizations, filtering residential versus business IPs, and prioritizing prospects from target industries or regions.
- Compliance & Restrictions: Enforce geographic restrictions, comply with data sovereignty regulations, and block access from sanctioned countries using accurate geolocation data.
- Analytics Enhancement: Enrich web analytics with organization names and locations, segment traffic by network type, and gain deeper insights into visitor behavior patterns.

Understanding Reputation Scores
The API provides detailed reputation assessments that help you make informed security and business decisions. Here are real-world examples showing different reputation levels:
- Clean Reputation: Major cloud providers like Amazon AWS receive assessments noting "Legitimate cloud infrastructure provider with strong security practices and rapid abuse response" - excellent for business traffic and highly trustworthy.
- Mixed Reputation: Popular hosting providers like Hetzner may show "Popular hosting provider with occasional abuse reports; legitimate business use but requires monitoring" - valid services that warrant additional verification.
- Problematic Reputation: IPs with documented abuse history will include specific warnings and patterns - strong indicators to implement additional security measures or blocking.
Each reputation assessment provides context about why an IP receives its rating, enabling nuanced decision-making rather than simple allow/block rules.
Global Coverage Examples
The API provides comprehensive intelligence for IP addresses worldwide. Here are examples demonstrating the diversity of information available:
- US Cloud Infrastructure: Amazon EC2 instance in Virginia with hostname ec2-54-239-28-176.compute-1.amazonaws.com, clean reputation, and rapid abuse response capabilities.
- European Hosting: Hetzner server in Nuremberg, Germany with CIDR block 88.198.0.0/16, mixed reputation requiring monitoring, and dedicated abuse contact.
- Canadian Infrastructure: OVH server in Montreal, Quebec with detailed network information and specific abuse reporting procedures.
