02 — In the response

What a match looks like.

A lookup of a CERT Polska Artemis address sets risk.is_scanner. The flags come with geolocation and network data in the same response, for Pro API keys.

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 CERT Polska Artemis but doesn't match is unverified.

GET /api/lookup/{ip}?key=PRO_KEY

    "is_ai": false,
    "is_crawler": false,
    "is_scanner": true

03 — Questions

About CERT Polska Artemis.

Does CERT Polska Artemis publish its scanner IP addresses?

Yes. CERT Polska Artemis publishes a list at https://wiedza.cert.pl/systemy-cert-polska/uslugi/artemis/, which IPAPI.GR imports directly.

How do I verify CERT Polska Artemis with reverse DNS?

Look up the PTR record for the IP address. The hostname must be one of skanowanie.cert.pl, and a forward lookup of that hostname must return the same IP address. A PTR record alone can be set by anyone who controls the address, so the forward confirmation is the part that matters.

How often is the CERT Polska Artemis list refreshed?

IPAPI.GR re-fetches it every hour. If a refresh fails, the previous entries expire after at most 24 hours instead of being trusted forever.

Which risk flag does CERT Polska Artemis set?

A matching address sets risk.is_scanner in the lookup response. The risk flags are returned for Pro API keys.
