VPN Proxy Detector is an API-based tool designed to identify whether a given IP address is associated with VPN usage. It addresses the need for automated detection of VPN connections by providing a simple boolean response that indicates if the queried IP is using a VPN. This functionality can be useful for developers and services that require validation of user IP addresses for security, compliance, or access control purposes.
The service is accessible through a single REST endpoint and supports multiple response formats, including JSON, XML, YAML, and CSV. Additionally, it offers a GraphQL interface and an MCP interface intended for AI agents. The API can be integrated into applications using various programming languages, with code examples provided for cURL, Node, and Python. To try the service, no API key is required for live requests, but obtaining a key is necessary for integration into applications. The API is available online with a stated uptime SLA of 99.9% and operates on a credit-based usage model, consuming one credit per call. Latency metrics are provided, with response times detailed across different percentiles.
