Response fields
dns
Reverse DNS for the address.
Reverse DNS (PTR) data for the IP, also mirrored inside the network group.
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
ptr_record | string | Reverse DNS (PTR) hostname for the IP, when one resolves. |
ptr_pattern | string | Classification of the PTR hostname, e.g. "residential", "mobile". |
fcrdns_valid | boolean | Forward-confirmed reverse DNS: whether the PTR hostname resolves back to this IP. |
A field with no value comes back as the string "none", or 0 for numbers. The API never returns null.
