How Our Residental Proxy Detection Works
IPinfo's residential proxy dataset is built using a proactive and direct verification process that ensures unmatched accuracy and reliability.
- Step 1
Data Collection
We’ve joined 80+ residential proxy networks, accessing and scanning IPs to verify their association with active residential proxies. This hands-on approach ensures that only real, up-to-date data is included in our dataset.
- Step 2
Analysis and Validation
To maintain accuracy, each IP is analyzed for patterns, including its frequency of activity and its association with proxy networks. The dataset is refreshed daily to account for the dynamic nature of residential proxies.
- Step 3
Data Delivery
Once validated, the data is delivered in formats compatible with enterprise workflows, ensuring seamless integration. Available via API, database download in JSON, CSV, and MMDB formats, and cloud deployment options via Snowflake, GCP BigQuery, Splunk, and other platforms.
Our 5 steps to achieving unmatched IP data accuracy
While all IP data providers begin with the same foundational sources - Whois records and geofeeds for basic information - they stop after basic analysis and cross-referencing. IPinfo implements three additional, advanced phases of analysis.
At the heart of our process is our proprietary global probe network, which has mapped every IP address on the planet. This unique approach delivers an unmatched level of accuracy that sets our data apart.
Collect & Clean
Like all IP data companies, we collect starting data from multiple sources to build the foundation.
Learn
Our proprietary algorithms analyze 20+ terabytes of data each day to clean and score each IP record.
Establish Ground-Truth
900+ global Probe Servers triangulate and map every IP in real time with ground-truth precision.
Validate
Our purpose-built hint engine analyzes 400Bn IP measurements each week to validate all data.
