IPLogs vs UK Police
IPLogs scores an IP address's likelihood of being a VPN, proxy, Tor exit node, or datacenter host by combining 25+ signals -- ASN/PeeringDB classification, TCP/IP and TLS fingerprinting, RTT timing, and active probing -- into a single verdict and confidence score. A single keyless POST to /v1/check (optionally enriched with client-side signals like user-agent, timezone, and WebRTC IP) returns the verdict, a 0-1 risk score, and the matched signals with their weights, run by DigitalD.tech. There's no signup and no enforced rate limit today -- the public endpoint is explicitly fair-use, with dedicated deployments available on request for high-volume callers.
The UK Police API publishes crime, stop-and-search, and neighbourhood-policing data reported by the 43 territorial forces of England and Wales, going back to December 2010 for street-level crime. It's a keyless JSON REST API -- force listings, neighbourhood team info, individual crime and outcome records, geo-radius crime queries -- released under the Open Government Licence, so results can be reused (including commercially) with attribution. Anonymous requests are capped at 15 per second with a burst of 30 before a 429 kicks in, comfortably enough for the dashboards and research tools that already build on it.
