Ciphers with TLSv1.2 and higher

Wider Latin America coverage
Today, we have added around 3000 additional subnets covering IPv4 and IPv6 networks in Latin American nations. These are live in the API.
GeoNames.Org ID for nearest city
🗺 GeoNames.org is a popular database for looking up metadata on city and country names. We have added an additional response member that provides the numeric (integer type) ID for the nearest city in the GeoNames.org database - use it as a lookup key for additional data from GeoNames.
European Union flag
🇪🇺 The API response has been enhanced to make detecting EU origin of the IP easier. Check out the isEuropeanUnion boolean member in the response JSON - this may help you with GDPR applicability detection for example.
