Abuse Contact Data for IP Addresses
Our abuse contact API returns data containing information belonging to the abuse contact of every IP address on the Internet. Fields included in this response are the abuse contact's email address, postal/ZIP code, city, state, country, name, network, and phone number.
- address:"US, CA, Mountain View, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, 94043",
- country:"US",
- email:"network-abuse@google.com",
- name:"Abuse",
- network:"8.8.8.0/24",
- phone:"+1-650-253-0000",
We needed to further contextualize Internet scanners, crawlers, and bots. Origin networks, data centers, ASNs, and countries are a huge component of that. We were looking for a faster, more developer-friendly alternative to existing geo-IP providers. A close friend of mine hit the IPinfo API with cURL, and I saw all the information we needed.
