DNS Propagation API
Check DNS propagation by querying a record across several major public resolvers at once — Google (8.8.8.8), Cloudflare (1.1.1.1), AdGuard and dns.sb — and seeing whether they all return the same answer. Pass a domain and a record type and the service queries every resolver in parallel and reports each resolver's answers, whether they are consistent (the change has fully propagated) or still differ (mid-propagation, stale caching or split-horizon DNS), the number of distinct answer sets and the union of all answers. Supported record types: A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SOA, SRV, CAA and PTR. A single-resolver endpoint queries one named resolver on its own, and a failing resolver is reported per-resolver without failing the whole call. Live DoH (DNS-over-HTTPS) JSON queries, always current. Built for verifying DNS changes after a migration or launch, debugging split-horizon or stale-cache issues, and uptime/propagation monitoring. A DNS propagation checker — distinct from single-resolver record lookup (dns), the email-authentication analyzer (emailsec) and WHOIS (whois). No upstream key, no cache.

Tor Network API
Look up the live Tor network as an API — powered by the Tor Project's official Onionoo service and the canonical bulk exit-node list. Check whether any IPv4 or IPv6 address is a Tor relay (is_tor_relay) and whether it is an exit node that clients leave the network through (is_exit_node, corroborated against the bulk exit list), returning the full matching relay record(s): nickname, fingerprint, flags, country, autonomous system, advertised bandwidth, exit-policy summary and first/last-seen dates. Or search the public relay list by nickname, fingerprint, IP, country or flag (Exit, Guard, Fast, Stable…) with paging. Built for fraud and abuse triage, login-risk scoring, comment- and registration-filtering, and network research — knowing at a glance whether a connection originates from the Tor network. Range data is fetched live from the Tor Project, so it is always current. A Tor-network lookup — distinct from cloud/CDN attribution (cloudips), IP geolocation (ipgeo), ASN/BGP ownership (asn, ripestat) and open-port exposure (internetdb). No upstream key, no cache.

Cloud & CDN IP Ranges API
Attribute any IP address to the cloud provider, CDN, region and service that owns it — from the official, publicly-published IP-range lists of AWS, Google Cloud, Cloudflare, Oracle Cloud (OCI), Fastly and GitHub. Pass an IPv4 or IPv6 address and get every matching prefix with its provider, region/scope and service, plus an is_cloud flag that tells you at a glance whether the address belongs to a known cloud or CDN — or list a single provider's published ranges, filtered by region, service and IP version. Built for firewall allow-lists, abuse and fraud triage, bot and egress classification, SSRF defence and knowing whether inbound or outbound traffic originates from a cloud or CDN. Range data is fetched live from each provider's canonical public list, so it is always current. A cloud/CDN IP-attribution service — distinct from IP geolocation (ipgeo), ASN/BGP ownership (asn, ripestat), open-port exposure (internetdb) and the IANA port/protocol registries (netports, ipprotocols). No upstream key, no cache.

IP Protocol Numbers API
The IANA "Assigned Internet Protocol Numbers" registry as an API — the 8-bit value carried in the IPv4 Protocol field (and IPv6 Next Header) that identifies the encapsulated protocol. Resolve any number to its protocol (e.g. 6 → TCP, 17 → UDP, 1 → ICMP, 47 → GRE, 50 → ESP, 58 → IPv6-ICMP, 89 → OSPF, 132 → SCTP), look up by keyword, search by name, or list all 151 assigned protocols — each with its keyword, full name, IPv6-extension-header flag and defining RFC. Ideal for packet/firewall tooling, network analysis, NetFlow/IPFIX decoders and protocol documentation. (Distinct from transport-layer service port numbers.)

ASN Lookup API
Look up Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) — the identifiers that label every network on the public internet — mapped to their owning organisation and country. 122,000+ ASNs derived from the Regional Internet Registries (ARIN, RIPE, APNIC, LACNIC, AFRINIC). Resolve an ASN to its operator (e.g. AS15169 → Google LLC, US; AS13335 → Cloudflare; AS16509 → Amazon), or search by organisation name and country (e.g. "hetzner" in DE). Ideal for network intelligence, abuse/security investigation, traffic analysis, IP-reputation tooling and BGP/peering research.

Network Ports API
The official IANA Service Name and Transport Protocol Port Number registry as an API — 12,500+ TCP, UDP, SCTP and DCCP port assignments. Look up what service runs on a port (e.g. 443 → https), find which port(s) a named service uses (e.g. ssh → 22), and search the registry by service or description. A handy reference for networking, DevOps, security and firewall tooling.
