Check an IP

Is this IP really Amazon Amzn-User?

Checks the address against what Amazon Amzn-User publishes, the same evidence behind risk.is_ai.

01 — Verification

How IPAPI.GR verifies Amazon Amzn-User.

Only from what Amazon Amzn-User publishes about itself. No third-party blocklists, no behavioural guesses. Live address counts change with every publication, so check the official file for the current list.

02 — In the response

What a match looks like.

A lookup of a Amazon Amzn-User address sets risk.is_ai and risk.is_crawler. The flags come with geolocation and network data in the same response, for Pro API keys.

This publication is AI crawling or retrieval traffic, so it counts as both an AI source and a crawler.

The response says which kind of bot an address belongs to, not which operator. Pair it with the user agent: a request that claims to be Amazon Amzn-User but doesn't match is unverified.

GET /api/lookup/{ip}?key=PRO_KEY
{
  // … location and network fields …
  "risk": {
    "is_ai": true,
    "is_crawler": true,
    "is_scanner": false
  }
}
