Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Ipqualityscore Tools (4)
check_ip
Fraud detection & risk scoring for an IP address. Answers "is this IP a proxy, VPN, or Tor exit node?", flags bots/crawlers and recent abuse, and returns a 0-100 fraud score plus geolocation (country, region, city, ISP, connection type). Example: check_ip({ ip: "8.8.8.8", strictness: 1 })
check_email
Email fraud & deliverability check. Validates an email address, detects disposable/temporary addresses, flags emails seen in data leaks, and returns a 0-100 fraud score plus deliverability, SMTP, and DNS validity signals. Example: check_email({ email: "user@example.com" })
check_phone
Phone number validation & fraud check. Confirms whether a number is valid and active, returns a 0-100 fraud score, and flags VOIP, prepaid, and risky numbers with line type, carrier, and region. Example: check_phone({ phone: "18007267864", country: "US" })
check_url
URL / malware safety scan. Checks whether a URL or domain is unsafe — phishing, malware, spam — and returns a risk score, domain reputation rank, content category, DNS validity, and domain age. Example: check_url({ url: "https://example.com" })
