Supported Operations

The connector supports the following operations:

  • Retrieve IP address reputation data: This service performs real-time lookups to instantly determine how risky a user, click, or transaction is based on an IP address and optional device information. In addition to analyzing if the IP address is a proxy or VPN, the API returns over 20 relevant data points such as:

    • Geo location data
    • ISP
    • Connection type
    • Device details
    • Recent reputation activity
    • Overall fraud score
    • Status as a proxy, VPN, or TOR connection
    • Abuse Velocity
    • Other similar data points to classify reputation and risk
  • Retrieve Email address reputation data: This API provides real-time email address reputation scoring and validation with hundreds of syntax & DNS checks. The API can be leveraged to determine if the email address inbox exists with the mail service provider and is able to accept new messages. In addition, users can determine if the email address has a poor reputation or has recently been associated with abuse or threats. Additional risk scoring can detect disposable and temporary mail services as well as emails with a history of fraudulent behavior online.

  • Retrieve URL (or) Domain reputation data.: Scans links and domains in real-time to detect suspicious URLs using trusted machine learning models. These machine learning models can accurately identify phishing links, malware URLs, viruses, parked domains, and suspicious URLs with real-time risk scores. In addition, the machine learning models can confidently classify poor reputation domains, suspicious links, and phishing URLs with a real-time API integration. Features such as parking domain detection, domain spam scores, reputation checks, and domain age, elevates URL intelligence to a whole new level.

  • Retrieve Phone Number reputation data: Accurately verify phone numbers worldwide and retrieve a combination of carrier and line type details with risk analysis data to assess phone number reputation. IPQS collects phone validation and verification data from a wide variety of carriers and tier 1 telecommunication providers, with support for all regions. Detect inactive and disconnected phone numbers for easy user validation similar to HLR & LRN lookups. Accurately identify virtual and disposable phone numbers along with numbers associated with abusive behavior online.

Parameters

Name Key Required Type Description
Email address
email True string

Email address you want to fetch reputation data.

Abuse Strictness
abuse_strictness True integer

Set the strictness level for machine learning pattern recognition of abusive email addresses with the "recent_abuse" data point. Default level of 0 provides good coverage, however if you are filtering account applications and facing advanced fraudsters then we recommend increasing this value to level 1 or 2.

Fast
fast boolean

When this parameter is enabled our API will not perform an SMTP check with the mail service provider, which greatly increases the API speed. Syntax and DNS checks are still performed on the email address as well as our disposable email detection service. This option is intended for services that require decision making in a time sensitive manner.

Timeout in seconds (1-60)
timeout integer

Maximum number of seconds to wait for a reply from a mail service provider. If your implementation requirements do not need an immediate response, we recommend bumping this value to 20. Any results which experience a connection timeout will return the "timed_out" variable as true. Default value is 7 seconds.

Suggest Domain
suggest_domain boolean

Force analyze if the email addresses domain has a typo and should be corrected to a popular mail service. By default, this test is currently only performed when the email is invalid or if the "recent abuse" status is true.

Returns

Name Path Type Description
Message
message string

A generic status message, either success or some form of an error notice.

Success
success boolean

Was the request successful?

Valid
valid boolean

Does this email address appear valid?

Disposable
disposable boolean

Is this email suspected of belonging to a temporary or disposable mail service? Usually associated with fraudsters and scammers.

SMTP Score
smtp_score integer

Validity score of email server's SMTP setup. Range: "-1" - "3". Scores above "-1" can be associated with a valid email. -1 = invalid email address 0 = mail server exists, but is rejecting all mail 1 = mail server exists, but is showing a temporary error 2 = mail server exists, but accepts all email 3 = mail server exists and has verified the email address

Overall Score
overall_score integer

Overall email validity score. Range: "0" - "4". Scores above "1" can be associated with a valid email. 0 = invalid email address 1 = dns valid, unreachable mail server 2 = dns valid, temporary mail rejection error 3 = dns valid, accepts all mail 4 = dns valid, verified email exists

First Name
first_name string

Suspected first name based on email. Returns "CORPORATE" if the email is suspected of being a generic company email. Returns "UNKNOWN" if the first name was not determinable.

Generic
generic boolean

Is this email suspected as being a catch all or shared email for a domain? ("admin@", "webmaster@", "newsletter@", "sales@", "contact@", etc.)

Common
common boolean

Is this email from a common email provider? ("gmail.com", "yahoo.com", "hotmail.com", etc.)

DNS Valid
dns_valid boolean

Does the email's hostname have valid DNS entries? Partial indication of a valid email.

Honeypot
honeypot boolean

Is this email believed to be a "honeypot" or "SPAM trap"? Bulk mail sent to these emails increases your risk of being blacklisted by large ISPs & ending up in the spam folder.

Deliverability
deliverability string

How likely is this email to be delivered to the user and land in their mailbox. Values can be "high", "medium", or "low".

Frequent Complainer

Indicates if this email frequently unsubscribes from marketing lists or reports email as SPAM.

Spam Trap Score
spam_trap_score string

Confidence level of the email address being an active SPAM trap. Values can be "high", "medium", "low", or "none". We recommend scrubbing emails with "high" or "medium" statuses. Avoid "low" emails whenever possible for any promotional mailings.

Catch All
catch_all boolean

Is this email likely to be a "catch all" where the mail server verifies all emails tested against it as valid? It is difficult to determine if the address is truly valid in these scenarios, since the email's server will not confirm the account's status.

Timed Out
timed_out boolean

Did the connection to the mail service provider timeout during the verification? If so, we recommend increasing the "timeout" variable above the default 7 second value. Lookups that timeout with a "valid" result as false are most likely false and should be not be trusted.

Suspect
suspect boolean

This value indicates if the mail server is currently replying with a temporary error and unable to verify the email address. This status will also be true for "catch all" email addresses as defined below. If this value is true, then we suspect the "valid" result may be tainted and there is not a guarantee that the email address is truly valid.

Recent Abuse
recent_abuse boolean

This value will indicate if there has been any recently verified abuse across our network for this email address. Abuse could be a confirmed chargeback, fake signup, compromised device, fake app install, or similar malicious behavior within the past few days.

Fraud Score
