iPGaze API

A free, no-signup JSON API for network lookups — the same engine behind the tools on this site. Make a GET request, get JSON back. No API key required.

No API keyJSON responses42 endpoints

Basics

Base URL: https://ipgaze.com
Method: GET for every endpoint.
Auth: None.
Format: JSON (except the streaming diagnostics below).
CORS: Intended for server-to-server and personal use; call from your backend.

Response shape

Every JSON endpoint returns a consistent envelope. Success:

{ "ok": true, "data": { /* tool-specific result */ } }

Error:

{ "ok": false, "error": "human-readable message" }

Status codes:

200: Success.
400: Invalid input.
429: Rate limited.
500: Upstream / server error.

Example

curl "https://ipgaze.com/api/dns?host=example.com"

{
  "ok": true,
  "data": {
    "host": "example.com",
    "records": { "A": ["..."], "MX": ["..."], "NS": ["..."] }
  }
}

Rate limits

Requests are rate limited per client IP (in-memory, per minute). Roughly 60 requests/minute for standard lookups and a stricter bucket (~15/minute) for the active diagnostics (ping, traceroute, port). Exceeding the limit returns HTTP 429. Please cache results and be considerate — it's a free service.

Streaming endpoints

/api/ping and /api/traceroute stream plain text line-by-line (not JSON), so you see output live. Read the response body as a stream.

Endpoints

42 endpoints, grouped by category. Targets must be public hosts/IPs — private, loopback and reserved ranges are rejected.
