Details

You can specify values for any additional query flags via .... The package will be updated as the supported flags change. Current supported query flags are:

• vpn: (logical) VPN check on the IP Address and present the result to you.

• asn: (logical) ASN check on the IP Address and present you with the provider name, ASN, country, country isocode, city (if it's in a city) and lang/long for the IP Address.

• node: (logical) Will return node within our cluster answered your API call. This is only really needed for diagnosing problems with our support staff.

• time: (logical) Will return how long this query took to be answered by our API excluding network overhead.

• inf: (logical) When FALSE the query will not use the real-time inference engine. In the absence of this flag or if it's set to TRUE we will run the query through our real-time inference engine.

• risk: (logical) When TRUE, will return the risk score for this IP Address ranging from 0 to 100. Scores below 33 can be considered low risk while scores between 34 and 66 can be considered high risk. Addresses with scores above 66 are considered very dangerous.

• port: (logical) Will return the port number we saw this IP Address operating a proxy server on.

• seen: (logical) Will return the most recent time we saw this IP Address operating as a proxy server.

• days: (integer) Will restrict proxy results to between now and the amount of days specified. For example if you supplied days=2 we would only check our database for Proxies that we saw within the past 48 hours. By default without this flag supplied we search within the past 7 days.

• tag: (string) The query result will be tagged with the message you supply.
