Show HN: IPDetective – An API for IP bot detection

Thanks for your input.

>Do you have any data showing your service is better/more accurate/better false positive rate than competing offerings

I have signed up to some of the competitors and my service averaged about 20ms per request for a single IP address. From the competition it was typically around 200ms to 300ms. Regarding better false positives that would be rather hard to do.

> Are you on the up and up with all those public sources?

I gathered from sources that did not have any licensing related to non-commercial use. Would you recommend I reach out to all of the sources regardless even if they say you can use it for commercial use? Or do not say anything about commercial use at all?

> No, currently IPDetective does not support ipv6 addresses. However this feature is on the road map.

Yeah I know, just focusing on IPv4 right now. I am still collecting ipv6 addresses however I have not implemented it in the service yet.

Thanks a bunch for writing the comments above.

Yeap… measure the amount of requests for ipv6 support you get from your users, not hn users :-)

Wrong kind of user, customer vs end user. Still probably worth pursuing but this more shows the percentage of end users using Google via a mobile phone than anything.
