Calculates fraud score for an IP address, identifying risk level, anonymization signals, and network context for prevention.
The Capture IP Fraud Detection Data 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 GET Fraud Risk endpoint returns data related to the risk assessment of an IP address, including the fraud score, risk level, network operator details, geographic location, and anonymization signals.
Key fields in the response include "fraud_score," "risk_level," "operator" (ISP details), "location" (geographic info), and "anonymization" (VPN, proxy status), which help assess the risk associated with the IP address.
The response data is structured in a JSON format, with nested objects for "operator," "location," and "anonymization," allowing for easy parsing and understanding of the risk factors associated with the IP address.
The endpoint provides information on fraud risk scores, risk levels, ISP details, geographic location, anonymization status, and whether the IP is blacklisted, aiding in fraud prevention efforts.
Data accuracy is maintained through continuous updates from reliable sources, including ISPs and threat intelligence feeds, ensuring that the fraud scores and risk assessments reflect current conditions.
Typical use cases include fraud detection in online transactions, user authentication validation, and monitoring suspicious access patterns to enhance security protocols on digital platforms.
Users can customize their requests by specifying the IP address they want to analyze, allowing for targeted assessments of specific connections or traffic sources.
The "fraud_score" indicates the likelihood of fraud, "risk_level" categorizes the risk (low, medium, high), and "is_high_risk" flags whether the IP should be treated as a significant threat, guiding automated security responses.
To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
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.
