December 2025 Update

4 months ago by Lorenzo Roveda

❄ December 2025 Update: Two new Data API endpoints for IP proxy and disposable email detection, and two dedicated Analytics pages displaying insights from Phone to Name and Phone Disposable APIs.

DATA API: IP Proxy Detection

We've launched a new endpoint to identify anonymized traffic, including VPNs, proxies, relays, and Tor nodes, with a focus on detecting residential proxies used in fraud operations.

🔍 Key Features

For the provided IP address it returns:

  • ✅ Format validation: Confirms structural validity of the IP address.
  • 🔍 Anonymization detection: Flags for VPN, proxy, relay, and Tor usage to surface hidden traffic
  • 🏠 Residential vs. datacenter: Distinguishes between hard-to-detect residential proxies and datacenter sources

📊 Example Output

{
  "is_valid_format": true,
  "is_vpn": true,
  "is_relay": false,
  "is_proxy": true,
  "is_tor": false,
  "proxy_type": "residential"
}
  • is_valid_format (boolean) — Indicates whether the IP address is structurally valid.
  • is_vpn (boolean) — True if the IP is associated with a VPN service.
  • is_relay (boolean) — True if the IP is identified as a relay or forwarding node.
  • is_proxy (boolean) — True if proxy usage has been detected.
  • is_tor (boolean) — True if the IP is a known Tor node.
  • proxy_type (string) — The detected proxy type when available (e.g., residential, datacenter).

Analytics Pages for Phone to Name & Phone Disposable

The Phone to Name and Phone Disposable Data APIs now have dedicated Analytics pages, providing real-time visibility into usage, performance metrics, and geographic distribution.

🔍 Key Features

  • 📊 Daily lookup trends: Track API call volume over time to monitor usage patterns
  • 🎯 Match rate insights: View global and country-level success rates showing how many phone numbers return complete name data
  • ✅ Confidence scoring: Monitor average confidence levels for name matches to assess phone numbers’ quality
  • 🌍 Geographic distribution: Identify top countries by lookup percentage to understand where your traffic originates

DATA API: Email Disposable Detection

We've launched a new endpoint to identify temporary and disposable email addresses, helping you detect low-quality or fraudulent signups during onboarding and account creation workflows.

🔍 Key Features

For the provided email address it returns:

  • ✅ Format validation: Confirms validity of the email address
  • 🗑️ Disposable detection: Identifies whether the email belongs to a temporary service provider
  • 🏷️ Provider identification: Returns the specific disposable email service when detected (e.g. tempmail)

📊 Example Output

{
  "is_valid_format": true,
  "is_disposable": true,
  "disposable_provider": "[tempmail.com](http://tempmail.com)"
}
  • is_valid_format (boolean) — Indicates whether the email address has a valid format.
  • is_disposable (boolean) — True if the email belongs to a temporary service provider.
  • disposable_provider (string) — The specific temporary email service provider when detected (e.g. tempmail.com).
