    - [Documentation](https://ipinfo.io/developers/residential-proxy-api)


    ### Privacy Detection Standard

    Detect VPNs, proxies, Tor exit nodes, relays, and hosting providers associated with an IP address. Returns core privacy signals including service provider identification.

    - Endpoints: `/{ip}/privacy`

    - [Documentation](https://ipinfo.io/developers/privacy-standard-api)


    ### Privacy Detection Extended

    Advanced anonymous IP detection with detailed methodologies, confidence metrics, and metadata for VPNs, proxies, Tor, hosting providers, and relays.

    - Endpoints: `/{ip}/privacy_extended`

    - [Documentation](https://ipinfo.io/developers/privacy-extended-api)


    ## Legacy API Products


    For backwards compatibility, legacy endpoints remain available:

    - [IP to Geolocation API](https://ipinfo.io/products/ip-geolocation-api) - Use Core or Plus instead

    - [IP to Privacy Detection API](https://ipinfo.io/products/proxy-vpn-detection-api) - Use Plus instead

    - [ASN API](https://ipinfo.io/products/asn-api) - `/AS{asn}` endpoint

    - [IP to Company API](https://ipinfo.io/products/ip-company-api) - `/{ip}/company` endpoint

    - [IP to Abuse Contact API](https://ipinfo.io/products/ip-abuse-contact-api) - `/{ip}/abuse` endpoint

    - [IP WHOIS API](https://ipinfo.io/products/whois-api) - `/whois/*` endpoints


    ## Special Endpoints


    - **Token Info**: `/me` - View request limits and API access for your token

    - **Batch Requests**: `/batch` - Enrich multiple IPs in a single request

    - **IP Summarization**: `/tools/summarize-ips` - Analyze up to 500,000 IPs

    - **IP Mapping**: `/tools/map` - Visualize up to 500,000 IPs on an interactive map
