Score: 4.0/10 (Innovation: 3, Technical: 4, Documentation: 5, Utility: 5)

IP Lookup API is a hosted service that checks an IP address to detect VPNs, bots, AI crawlers, and spoofed crawlers by comparing against published IP ranges. It offers a simple POST endpoint with example integration code for Netlify Edge Functions. The utility is clear but the implementation is a thin wrapper over public data, and the project is a hosted API rather than open-source code.

Target audience: backend developers, devops, security engineers
