Could you elaborate on this data:
"security":{4 items
"is_crawler":false
"is_proxy":false
"is_thread":false
"is_tor":false
}
What would it mean if these values turned out true? I tried the “is_proxy” on a vpn ip address and it didn’t turn out true. Btw great work on the api!

Thanks for the info. I have some more questions for you:
Is it possible to detect if an IP Address is from a VPN?
And how does the API get info on if the IP has a history of attacks, viruses, criminal activity etc…?
Please see below some more information about these values.
“is_crawler” : IP address is a Web Bot or Spider (example is googlebot).
“is_proxy”: IP address is an open proxy (this doesn’t cover VPNs).
“is_thread”: This IP has a history of attacks, spyware, viruses, malware and other criminal activity.
“is_tor”: Tor IP address.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
