Calculates fraud score for an IP address, identifying risk level, anonymization signals, and network context for prevention.
The IP Fraud Risk Assessment Fetch API is designed to measure the level of risk associated with an IP address using a scoring system that combines multiple technical and contextual signals. Its purpose is to help digital platforms prevent fraud, abuse, and suspicious access before they impact service operations. The endpoint response provides a clear and structured view of the risk, classified into understandable levels such as low, medium, or high.
At the core of the API is the fraud score, a numerical value that represents the probability that an IP address is related to fraudulent activities. This indicator is complemented by risk labels and logical flags that facilitate automated decision-making, such as allowing, limiting, or blocking a connection. In addition, the API indicates whether the IP address should be considered high risk, simplifying its integration into existing security flows.
The information returned includes network operator data, such as the Internet service provider, autonomous system, and host name, providing additional context about the origin of the traffic. Approximate geographic details are also provided, useful for detecting regional anomalies or validating expected location in authentication processes.

The API returns a comprehensive evaluation of an IP address, including a fraud score, risk level, risk label, network operator details, geographic location, anonymization signals, and blacklisting status. This data helps assess the likelihood of fraudulent activity associated with the IP.
Key fields in the response include "fraud_score," "risk_level," "risk_label," "operator" (ISP details), "location" (geographic info), "anonymization" (VPN/Tor status), and "external_blacklists" (blacklisting status). Each field provides critical insights for risk assessment.
The response data is structured in a JSON format, with top-level keys representing the IP address evaluation, including nested objects for "operator," "location," and "anonymization." This organization allows for easy parsing and integration into applications.
The API provides information on fraud risk, including the fraud score, risk levels, network operator data, geographic location, anonymization status, and whether the IP is blacklisted. This comprehensive data aids in fraud prevention and risk management.
Users can customize requests by specifying the IP address they wish to evaluate in the API call. The API processes this input to return tailored risk assessments based on the provided IP, allowing for targeted fraud detection.
The data is sourced from various network intelligence providers, including ISPs and security databases. This diverse sourcing helps ensure a broad coverage of IP addresses and enhances the accuracy of fraud risk assessments.
Typical use cases include fraud detection in online transactions, user authentication validation, and monitoring suspicious access patterns. Businesses can leverage the API to enhance security measures and reduce the risk of fraudulent activities.
Users can utilize the returned data by integrating it into their security workflows. For example, they can automate actions based on the fraud score and risk level, such as blocking high-risk IPs or flagging them for further review, enhancing overall security.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world's most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]
Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.
The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.
Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]
Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.
API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.
Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.
To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.
To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, refer to the 'X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining' field in the response header. For example, if your plan allows 1,000 requests per month and you've used 100, this field in the response header will indicate 900 remaining calls.
To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the 'X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit' response header. For instance, if your plan includes 1,000 requests per month, this header will display 1,000.
The 'X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset' header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3,600, it means 3,600 seconds are left until the limit resets.
Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.
You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 8 am to 5 pm (EST). If you reach us after that time, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Additionally, you can contact us via email at [email protected]
To give you the opportunity to experience our APIs without any commitment, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost. This trial can be used only once, so we recommend applying it to the API that interests you the most. While most of our APIs offer a free trial, some may not. The trial concludes after 7 days or once you've made 50 requests, whichever occurs first. If you reach the 50 request limit during the trial, you will need to "Start Your Paid Plan" to continue making requests. You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab. Alternatively, if you don't cancel your subscription before the 7th day, your free trial will end, and your plan will automatically be billed, granting you access to all the API calls specified in your plan. Please keep this in mind to avoid unwanted charges.
After 7 days, you will be charged the full amount for the plan you were subscribed to during the trial. Therefore, it's important to cancel before the trial period ends. Refund requests for forgetting to cancel on time are not accepted.
When you subscribe to an API free trial, you can make up to 50 API calls. If you wish to make additional API calls beyond this limit, the API will prompt you to perform an "Start Your Paid Plan." You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab.
Payout Orders are processed between the 20th and the 30th of each month. If you submit your request before the 20th, your payment will be processed within this timeframe.
