Retrieves geographical location information about IPv4 or IPv6 addresses for Studio DRM Standalone.

https://geo-location.vudrm.tech/ip_lookup/{client}/{ip_address}
Retrieves geographical location information about IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.

πŸ‘

All queries to this API require a Geo Location API key: -H 'X-Auth-Key: {geo-location-api-key}'. This key is not the same as a Studio DRM token API key.

Please contact your JW Player representative for more information on how to obtain this key.

proxy

Parameter Description
identification string Proxy type subcategory

Possible values:
β€’ cloud: Enables ubiquitous network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources.

β€’ cloud_security: A host accessing the Internet via a web security and data protection cloud provider. Example providers with this type of service are Zscaler, Scansafe, and Onavo.

β€’ dns: A proxy used by overriding the client’s DNS value for an endpoint host to that of the proxy instead of the actual DNS value.

β€’ null: The IP has not been identified as a proxy.

β€’ tor_exit: The gateway nodes where encrypted/anonymous Tor traffic hits the Internet.

β€’ tor_relay: Receives traffic on the Tor network and passes it along. Also referred to as "routers".

β€’ vpn: Virtual private network that encrypts and routes all traffic through the VPN server, including programs and applications.

β€’ web_browser: This value will indicate connectivity that is taking place through mobile device web browser software that proxies the user through a centralized location. A couple of examples of this type of connectivity are Opera mobile browsers and UCBrowser.
type string Type of proxy

Possible values:
β€’ aol: AOL proxy

β€’ anonymous: Actual IP address of client is not available. Includes services that change location to beat DRM, TOR points, temporary proxies and other masking services.

β€’ blackberry: This value will identify an IP address owned by RIM (Research In Motion) who is responsible for Blackberry mobile devices. All Blackberry users go through a centralized proxy location and thus cannot be accurately geo-targeted.

β€’ corporate: Generally considered harmless, but location can be a concern. Can identify if multiple users are proxied through a central location or locations, and thus share a single network apparent IP address.

β€’ edu: Proxied users from an educational institution.

β€’ hosting: Address belongs to a hosting facility or cloud provider and is likely to be a proxy as end users are not typically located in a hosting facility.

β€’ null: Not determined to be a proxy.

β€’ public: Multiple users proxied from a location allowing public Internet access.

β€’ transparent: Actual IP address of client is available via HTTP headers, though value is not necessarily reliable (for example, it can be spoofed).
