GeoPatrol
GeoPatrol is a real-time IP intelligence API that enables developers and security teams to make instant allow, review, or block decisions based on any IPv4 or IPv6 address. It returns a detailed JSON object containing precise geolocation (country, region, city, coordinates, timezone, currency), network and ASN information (operator, domain, route, type), and privacy flags (VPN, proxy, Tor, datacenter). A unified 0-100 abuse score, derived from blocklists, darknet feeds, and historic abuse data, provides an actionable risk assessment. The service fuses data from authoritative sources such as BGP routing tables, RIR/WHOIS registries, threat intelligence feeds, and global latency probes, ensuring high accuracy (99.6% location accuracy) and fast responses (median 12 ms) with a 99.9% uptime SLA. GeoPatrol is designed for simplicity: a single authenticated GET request returns over 27 fields, eliminating the need to stitch together multiple vendors. It supports commercial usage with a free tier for evaluation, is GDPR-ready as it requires no personal data, and offers SDKs for popular languages.
