}lookup & batch scopesX-RateLimit-* headers Compiled from our 35.3M+ prefix state into standard v2.0 .mmdb, .csv.gz and .parquet files. Pull releases with your API key via 15-minute signed Cloud Storage URLs, ETag caching and HTTP Range resume.
Compiled deterministically with a profileSchemaHash tailored to your licensed field families.
Each snapshot is fused from scratch out of public routing, registry, geofeed, and active RTT measurement streams, and must beat the active release on a disjoint ground-truth holdout set before anyone gets it.
evidence-adaptersGlobal internet allocation tables, BGP origin tables, RFC 8805/9092 operator geofeeds, cloud provider manifests, exit node feeds, and active ProbeNet RTT measurements are fetched on independent schedules.
rtt-sanity-verifierClaims are normalized into ObservedEvidence, expired records are pruned by per-source FreshnessSLAs, correlated mirrors are collapsed into a single EvidenceDimension, and physical speed-of-light RTT bounds reject spoofed locations.
prefix-scoring + plattIndependent dimensions are combined via log-odds Bayesian scoring. Operator-declared locations are separated from physical egress (is_virtual_location), and Platt scaling calibrates raw scores into true [0, 1] probabilities.
ipscope-rust-mmdbOur flat-arena Rust compiler merges 35.3M+ IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes into a single 128-bit binary radix trie, deduplicates identical leaf payloads in a bottom-up DAG pass, and exports MMDB, CSV.gz, and Parquet artifacts.
scorecard-holdoutEvery candidate snapshot is scored against a disjoint ground-truth holdout set for country/city recall, Brier calibration error, false-positive VPN rate, and longitudinal prefix churn. Any regression halts promotion.
mega-mmdb-hot-reloadVerified artifacts are promoted via atomic inode swap for zero-downtime API hot-reload and published with HMAC-SHA256 manifests, ETag headers, and signed Cloud Storage URLs while keeping prior snapshots for rollback.
Every source is governed by our LicensePolicyRegistry (customerDownloadAllowed). Five mirrors of the same geofeed collapse into a single correlated ancestry so mirror count never inflates confidence.

The Lookup API always serves our latest promoted build automatically with zero downtime. Downloadable databases (MMDB, CSV.gz and Parquet) are available on Monthly, Weekly, or Daily rebuild schedules, and previous snapshots remain accessible if you ever need to roll back.
Yes. Every .mmdb file uses the standard MMDB binary format v2.0, so you can open it directly with standard open-source MMDB reader libraries in C, NGINX, Go, Node.js, Rust, Python, PHP and Java without changing your application code. Every build also ships as gzipped CSV (.csv.gz) and Apache Parquet (.parquet) for columnar SQL engines, OLAP data warehouses and SIEM pipelines.
You can pull the latest MMDB, CSV.gz or Parquet artifact from a stable authenticated URL on a cron timer or Kubernetes CronJob. Download endpoints support ETag / If-None-Match (returning 304 Not Modified when your local file is already current), HTTP Range resume, and SHA256SUMS verification for atomic zero-downtime swaps.
Yes. Starting on the Pro plan, POST /v1/ip/batch resolves up to 100 IPv4 or IPv6 addresses in a single HTTPS call, and GET /v1/network/:cidr lets you inspect any routed CIDR prefix directly.
Every database subscription is licensed for 1 internal backend server inside your organization by default. If you need to deploy the database on more than 1 server, each additional server costs +$149/mo. Databases are strictly for internal server deployment and cannot be shared, bundled into third-party software, sublicensed, or sold. ipscope Lite is free under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0).
Every plan includes a monthly lookup allowance. Keep your Prepaid Micro-USD Wallet at $0 and lookups past your quota fail closed with zero surprise bills, or top up your wallet to meter extra lookups automatically at $0.10 per 1,000 requests.
Yes. All API endpoints and all downloadable database files cover both IPv4 and IPv6 in a single unified structure at the same price.
Yes, directly from the client dashboard with one click. Your API keys and database download access remain active through the end of your paid billing period. Annual subscriptions include 2 months free (17% off) and can be switched between monthly and yearly renewal at any time.
No card, no trial clock. Upgrade when your traffic does, or download the database when you would rather keep it in-house.
