<div className="dj-endpoint">

## Headers

| Header          | Required | Description                                         |
| --------------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| `Authorization` | Yes      | Your app's secret key, sent as-is — *not* `Bearer`. |
| `AppId`         | Yes      | The App ID from your dashboard.                     |

## Query parameters

| Parameter    | Type   | Required | Description                              |
| ------------ | ------ | -------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| `ip_address` | string | Yes      | The IP address to screen (IPv4 or IPv6). |

## Response

Returns an `entity` wrapping a `report` — the `blacklists` summary, geolocation `information`, an `anonymity` breakdown (proxy / web-proxy / VPN / hosting / Tor) and an overall `risk_score` — plus a `success` flag.

## Errors

| Code  | Meaning                                                                                       |

| `401` | Unauthorized — check your key and `AppId` (no `Bearer` prefix).                               |
| `402` | Insufficient wallet balance. [Fund your wallet](/api-reference/core-concepts/wallet-billing). |
| `404` | No record found for the supplied identifier.                                                  |
| `429` | Too many requests — back off and retry.                                                       |
