# IP Address Lookup API — Classify, Reverse DNS, CIDR Check (`eliai/ip-address-info`) Actor IP address lookup API. Input: list of IPs (ips) plus optional CIDR ranges (cidrs). Output: JSON per IP with version, isPrivate/isPublic/isReserved, specialUseRange, cidrMatches, and reverse DNS ptr. No geo API, pure stdlib. $0.01 per IP checked. - **URL**: https://apify.com/eliai/ip-address-info.md - **Developed by:** [Anthony Snider](https://apify.com/eliai) (community) - **Categories:** Developer tools, Automation - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing $10.00 / 1,000 ip checkeds This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## IP Address Info & Classifier Turn any IP address into structured intelligence — version, type, public/private classification, special-use range, and reverse DNS — with pure Node stdlib and zero geo APIs. **Live on the Apify Store — run it instantly or call it as an agent tool via [Apify MCP](https://apify.com/apify/actors-mcp-server).** ### What you get - **Validation** — correctly detects IPv4 vs IPv6 (rejects garbage). - **Classification** — `public`, `private` (RFC 1918), `loopback`, `link-local`, `cgnat` (RFC 6598), `multicast`, `documentation`, `reserved`, `broadcast`. - **Special-use range** — the exact CIDR/RFC the address belongs to (e.g. `10.0.0.0/8 Private-Use`). - **Reverse DNS (PTR)** — automatic lookup for public addresses. - **IPv4 extras** — 32-bit integer and dotted-binary representation. - **IPv6 extras** — fully expanded form (`::` un-compressed, embedded IPv4 normalized). - **Bulk** — pass one IP or hundreds in a single run. ### Input ```json { "ips": ["8.8.8.8", "10.0.0.1", "127.0.0.1", "2001:4860:4860::8888"], "maxIps": 50 } ```` Or a single address: ```json { "ip": "8.8.8.8" } ``` ### Output One dataset item per IP: ```json { "ip": "8.8.8.8", "valid": true, "version": 4, "type": "public", "isPublic": true, "integer": 134744072, "binary": "00001000.00001000.00001000.00001000", "reverseDns": ["dns.google"], "specialUse": null } ``` A private/reserved address instead returns its range: ```json { "ip": "10.0.0.1", "valid": true, "version": 4, "type": "private", "isPublic": false, "integer": 167772161, "binary": "00001010.00000000.00000000.00000001", "reverseDns": null, "specialUse": { "range": "10.0.0.0/8", "name": "Private-Use (RFC 1918)" } } ``` Pricing: pay-per-result — billed once per IP classified. # Actor input Schema ## `ip` (type: `string`): A single IPv4 or IPv6 address to classify. Use this for quick one-off checks. ## `ips` (type: `array`): Multiple IPv4/IPv6 addresses to classify in one run. Each item is one address. ## `maxIps` (type: `integer`): Safety cap on how many addresses to process in one run. ## Actor input object example ```json { "ip": "8.8.8.8", "ips": [ "8.8.8.8", "10.0.0.1", "127.0.0.1", "2001:4860:4860::8888" ], "maxIps": 50 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "ip": "8.8.8.8", "ips": [ "8.8.8.8", "10.0.0.1", "127.0.0.1", "2001:4860:4860::8888" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("eliai/ip-address-info").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
