Proxy Detection API

Proxy Detection API

Identify proxies and Tor exit nodes behind any IP address in real time. One endpoint covers HTTP, SOCKS, residential and datacenter proxies.

Overview

What is a proxy detection API?

A proxy detection API tells you whether an IP address is acting as an intermediary — an HTTP or SOCKS proxy, a residential proxy network, a datacenter proxy or a Tor exit node. IPScanner classifies the proxy type and returns a confidence score so you can decide whether to block, challenge or allow the request. It removes the need to maintain proxy blocklists yourself.

Signals

How proxy detection works

Different proxy types leak different signals — we look for all of them.

Open proxy fingerprints

Detection of exposed HTTP/HTTPS and SOCKS4/5 proxy endpoints.

Residential proxy networks

Identifies IPs sold through residential proxy pools despite looking like home connections.

Datacenter ranges

Hosting and cloud ASNs commonly used for proxying at scale.

Tor exit nodes

Live correlation against the public Tor exit list.

Header & latency anomalies

Forwarding headers and timing patterns typical of relayed traffic.

Proxy type & score

Each result names the proxy type and a 0–100 confidence value.

Use cases

Where teams use it

Bot & scraping defense

Block scrapers that rotate through proxy pools.

Ad fraud

Filter invalid traffic coming from proxy infrastructure.

Account integrity

Catch multi-accounting hidden behind residential proxies.

Compliance

Verify the true origin of a request for KYC and licensing.
