New field value CDN for connection type
timestamp1577977320001
Happy New Year! We wish you the best for 2020. Last year was incredible and we are looking forward to continue innovating in the IP and cyber-security domains with you.
It was not possible to start this year without announcing something new! Starting Today, the API is now distinguishing IP addresses used by CDN (Content Delivery Network) from those used by a hosting provider. In other words, the connection.type
field can now have values business
, education
, hosting
, isp
and cdn
.
Following this change, the field security.is_cloud_provider
is returning true if the connection usage type is cdn
or hosting
.
Here is an output excerpt from a Cloudflare IP address:
{
"connection" : {
"asn" : 13335,
"domain" : "cloudflare.com",
"organization" : "CloudFlare Inc.",
"type" : "cdn"
},
"security" : {
"is_cloud_provider" : true
}
}
