How to detect fraudulent IP activity with your AI

Connect IPQS to your AI client to instantly identify high-risk connections. Your agent handles the heavy lifting of scanning IP metadata to spot bad actors.

Short answer

How can I use AI to find fraudulent IP addresses?

Your AI uses the ip_lookup tool to check IP addresses against IPQS risk scores. It identifies proxies, VPNs, and bots so you can flag them immediately. You'll see a breakdown of how this works below.

Risk outcomes.

Where every risk lands.

The AI processes raw IP data and routes the results into these categories.

AUTO

Instant blocks

The AI identifies high-confidence bots or known malicious proxies. It flags these for immediate rejection in your system.

FLAG

Suspicious users

Users hiding behind VPNs or residential proxies get marked. Your agent highlights these accounts for extra scrutiny.

PASS

Clean traffic

Legitimate users with low risk scores pass through without friction. The AI confirms their IP reputation is solid.

MANUAL

Human review

Edge cases with ambiguous risk scores are sent to you. You decide whether to challenge the user or allow the connection.

The workflow

What your AI does when a connection arrives.

The AI acts as a gatekeeper by analyzing the network metadata of every incoming request.

  1. Analyze IP metadata

    Your agent pulls the risk profile for a specific IP address. It looks for indicators of fraud like proxy usage or bot signatures.

    ip_lookup

  2. Evaluate risk scores

    The AI compares the returned data against your security thresholds. It determines if the IP is a high-risk threat.

    ip_lookup

  3. Categorize the user

    The agent sorts the connection into categories like VPN, Proxy, or Clean. This makes the data actionable for your security logic.

    ip_lookup

  4. Execute security logic

    The AI suggests a response based on the risk level. It can recommend blocking a bot or prompting a human for a CAPTCHA.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI automatically block users for me?

    No. The AI identifies the risk and suggests an action, but you must trigger the actual block in your own system.

  • 02

    Does the AI store my user data?

    No. The AI only processes the IP data you provide to perform the lookup.

  • 03

    Can it detect if a user is using a mobile data connection?

    Yes, the ip_lookup tool provides data on the type of connection being used.

  • 04

    Will the AI delete my logs if it finds fraud?

    No. The AI only reads and analyzes data; it cannot delete or modify your existing logs or files.

  • 05

    Can it identify specific device fingerprints?

    The tool focuses on IP-based risk, such as proxies and VPNs, rather than hardware-level device fingerprinting.
