IP reputation check API use data from multiple sources to identify or categorize an IP address based on the threats associated with it. It is an essential part of network security as it helps detect potential threats and prevent them from entering your networks.
IPs can have different reputation scores depending on their history, online behavior and relationships with domains, locations and internet objects. If the IP address has been associated with spam, malware or phishing, for instance, it is likely to have a bad reputation. If the IP is only connected to benign domains and internet objects, it is likely to have a good reputation.
Residential Proxy Detection: Techniques and Tools
Pangea APIs integrate leading threat intelligence into your apps through our IP reputation check API, enabling you to reject connections based on elevated risk scores and keeping users safe. This API allows you to retrieve as many or as few details for up to 100 IP addresses at a time.
You must enable the IP Reputation feature on your Avi Controller before you can use this API. Once enabled, the IP reputation synchronization process takes about five minutes to begin. During this period, the IP reputation service might not be working. To see the status of this synchronization, navigate to Applications > Settings > Pulse.
To increase the reliability of the reputation check, you can create a policy data set and bind it to a group of IP addresses. Then, when you use the API to lookup reputation for a group of IPs, the results are compared with the data in your data set to provide more accurate information.
