Known attackers, abusers, spammers and scanners, pooled from more than a hundred feeds and returned as the lists an address appears on — and why.

}the response's blocklists, in the threat object — with every plan
ipdata reads more than a hundred blocklist feeds from over seventy maintainers and folds them into one answer per address. Ten of the best known:
+ 98 more feeds from 66 maintainers
One API call returns every blocklist an IP appears on — name, category, listing date, and evidence. No need to query Spamhaus, AbuseIPDB, and Emerging Threats separately.
Real-time DNS lookups against the most widely deployed spam and abuse blocklists. Results include zone match, listing reason, and first/last seen timestamps.
Curated feeds of known attackers, C&C servers, malware distributors, and exploit infrastructure. Updated daily from commercial and open-source providers.
Abuse reports from network operators, security researchers, and automated reporting systems. Volume and recency indicate sustained malicious activity vs. one-off incidents.
Targeted lists for specific attack types — Tor exit nodes, open proxies, cryptocurrency mining pools, hosting ranges, and government-sanctioned infrastructure.
The feeds an address appears on and the verdicts drawn from them, returned with every lookup. No field-level pricing.
threat.blocklistsThe blocklists the address has been reported to; empty when it is on none.
threat.blocklists[].nameThe name of the list.
threat.blocklists[].siteThe list’s website.
threat.blocklists[].typeThe kind of list it is.
threat.is_known_attackerWhether the address is a known source of malicious activity: attacks, malware, botnet traffic.
threat.is_known_abuserWhether the address is a known source of abuse: spam, harvesters, registration bots and other nuisance bots.
threat.is_threatTrue when either is_known_attacker or is_known_abuser is true.
threat.is_bogonWhether the address is a bogon: unallocated or reserved space that should never appear on the public internet.
Feed reputation scores into your web application firewall to automatically escalate blocking thresholds for known-bad IPs. Challenge medium-risk traffic with CAPTCHAs, hard-block high-risk.
Enrich security event logs with threat context at ingestion time. Analysts see reputation scores, threat categories, and blocklist history alongside every alert — no manual lookup required.
Score IPs at registration and login to detect account takeover attempts, credential stuffing campaigns, and fake account creation from known-malicious infrastructure.
Reject or quarantine inbound email from IPs with high spam or phishing scores. Reduce inbox noise and protect users from malicious attachments and credential harvesting.
Check your own hosts’ outbound connections against the C&C and malware lists. A compromised server shows up the moment it phones home to a listed address.
During active incidents, bulk-query attacker IPs to understand campaign scope, identify related infrastructure, and determine whether the threat is targeted or opportunistic.
Every plan checks addresses against the open-source blocklists. Business and Enterprise add the commercial feeds from our partner providers.
