Determining a company name from an IP address

Question

I apologize for the broad question. But I have a list of IP addresses, and I would like to associate them with the companies from which they came.

I'm not interested in identifying personal IP address information (maybe not even possible), but I think there should be a way to determine if the IP address is associated with a large corporation.

Whois.net usually gives the name of the provider, not the name of the company.

thanks

Answer 1

The API http://ipinfo.io (my own service) returns the company name as the org field:

$ curl http://ipinfo.io/198.252.206.16 { "ip": "198.252.206.16", "hostname": "stackoverflow.com", "city": null, "region": null, "country": "US", "loc": "38.0000,-97.0000", "org": "AS25791 Stack Exchange, Inc." } 

You can only get this field by adding / org to the URL:

 $ curl http://ipinfo.io/198.252.206.16/org AS25791 Stack Exchange, Inc. 

You can combine this with some other teams to bulk-search all your IP addresses and see which company they belong to:

 $ cat ips.txt | xargs -I% curl -s http://ipinfo.io/%/org | paste ips.txt - 198.252.206.16 AS25791 Stack Exchange, Inc. 173.252.110.27 AS32934 Facebook, Inc. 74.125.239.132 AS15169 Google Inc. 206.190.36.45 AS36647 Yahoo

Answer 2

ipdata.co provides an API endpoint ( https://api.ipdata.co ) that provides such information (I am running this service)

Ipdata has 10 endpoints worldwide, each of which can handle> 800 million calls daily!

 curl https://api.ipdata.co/70.70.70.70?api-key=test 

This answer uses a “test” API key, which is very limited and designed only to test multiple calls. Register to receive your free API key and receive up to 1,500 development requests daily.

gives

 { "ip": "70.70.70.70", "is_eu": false, "city": "", "region": "", "region_code": "", "country_name": "Canada", "country_code": "CA", "continent_name": "North America", "continent_code": "NA", "latitude": 43.6319, "longitude": -79.3716, "asn": "AS6327", "organisation": "Shaw Communications Inc.", "postal": "", "calling_code": "1", "flag": "https://ipdata.co/flags/ca.png", "emoji_flag": "\ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udde6", "emoji_unicode": "U+1F1E8 U+1F1E6", "languages": [ { "name": "English", "native": "English" }, { "name": "French", "native": "Fran\u00e7ais" } ], "currency": { "name": "Canadian Dollar", "code": "CAD", "symbol": "CA$", "native": "$", "plural": "Canadian dollars" }, "time_zone": { "name": "", "abbr": "", "offset": "", "is_dst": "", "current_time": "" }, "threat": { "is_tor": false, "is_proxy": false, "is_anonymous": false, "is_known_attacker": false, "is_known_abuser": false, "is_threat": false, "is_bogon": false }, } 

Answer 3

If you have an IP address, you can go to who.is and enter the IP address. If you then scroll down, you will find the feld where it says "OrgName:" and there you got it :)

Here is an image of when I searched 74.125.228.72 (youtube.com is owned by Google):

I suggest trying Ipregistry (disclaimer: I am running the service).

Ipregistry returns company data along with the company domain name when possible. You also get a classification of IP address types, as well as a host of other data, such as threat data, that can detect and prevent fraud.

To try it out quickly, simply open the following link in your browser:
