IP tools

Your address, somebody else’s address, and everything that can be read from one. 3 of the 20 verbs this service exposes are in here, and each has its own page with the arguments it takes and what it gives back.

What is in IP tools

dns.reverseIp, dns.ipInfo, dns.hostAddress. Three of these live in the DNS pack in the code, because that is what resolves them. They are here because "what is the IP of this site" is the question they answer, and filing them under DNS would hide them from the person asking it.

Generated, so it cannot go stale

This tab is written from the adapters that actually answer these calls. A verb added to a pack appears here on the next build and a verb removed disappears from it, so the list and the engine cannot disagree. The build refuses outright to ship a tab with no verbs behind it, because a tab that opens onto an empty state is worse than a tab that is not there.

Questions

Do you store what I look up?

A lookup is answered and not kept against you. A scan is kept — the account, the target, the time and the authorisation statement — because that record is what an abuse report is answered with, and keeping it is the condition of offering the feature at all.

Do you respect robots.txt when scraping?

Yes. The scraper identifies itself honestly, honours robots.txt, holds itself to a couple of requests a second per host, and will not touch anything behind a login. A scraper that ignores those is a scraper that gets our address blocked, which would end the product.
