Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about IPBot pricing.
Is IPBot really free?
Yes, the public API is free under a fair-use policy. No credit card required. Pro packaging is reserved and not self-serve yet.
What are the rate limits?
Anonymous traffic is capped at 60 req/min. Free API keys support 200 req/min. Pro is reserved at 600 req/min and can include RDAP contacts when explicitly authorized. All limits reset every minute.
Do I need an API key?
No, you can start immediately without any setup. Sign in with GitHub to get an API key for higher limits and usage tracking.
Can I use it commercially?
Yes, the free tier can be used for commercial and indie projects under fair use. Larger deployment packaging is not finalized yet.
Do you store IP addresses?
No. IPBot is stateless by design. We only hash client IPs in logs for operational visibility and rate limiting.
How do you detect fraud?
We combine open threat feeds (Firehol, Spamhaus, Tor exits) with ASN keyword heuristics. Every risk score includes human-readable explanations.
