02 — In the response

What a match looks like.

A lookup of a KarlaCrawler 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 KarlaCrawler 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
  }
}
