KenyaThe IP Blacklist Lookup API by APIVerve checks IPv4 and IPv6 addresses against multiple global security blacklists, DNSBL feeds, and threat repositories. It identifies whether an IP address is actively associated with spam distribution, brute-force SSH attacks, botnet command servers, open proxies, or distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) traffic.
In Nigerian web infrastructure, this endpoint helps backend engineers build automated web application firewalls (WAF) and screen login attempts to block malicious credential-stuffing bots.
