Synthient tracked providers
Includes reseller brands. Some tags require restricted access.
Synthient vs IPinfo
Synthient vs IPinfo. Identify the proxy, not just the ISP.
An ISP name does not tell you who sells proxy access. Synthient tracks 2,500+ providers, including reseller brands, and returns named service observations alongside network ownership and last-seen timestamps.
Why choose Synthient
Coverage and delivery.
Synthient combines proxy attribution with behavior and device observations. IPinfo provides geolocation, ASN enrichment, and privacy detection, including residential proxies in Max and Custom API products.
Synthient IPs / batch request
Enrich up to 1,000 IPv4 or IPv6 addresses in one request.
Synthient Parquet snapshots
Hourly exports and daily rollups. Feed access required.
Synthient vs IPinfo
API and data comparison.
Response fields, delivery formats, and access requirements.
| Capability | Synthient Infrastructure intelligence | IPinfoDocumented offering |
|---|---|---|
| Network versus proxy | network.asn, network.isp, and network.type identify the underlying network. providers[].type identifies observed proxy or VPN use. | Geolocation, ASN, hosting, and privacy fields vary by API tier. Privacy flags are separate from network ownership. |
| Residential proxies | intelligence.providers[] returns service and reseller tags, including residential and mobile proxies, with type and last_seen. | Max includes residential-proxy detection. Custom API /resproxy/{ip} returns service, last_seen, and percent_days_seen. |
| Risk and activity | intelligence.risk_score is 0–100. behavior and devices[] describe IP-associated activity and observed operating systems. | Enterprise Privacy Extended returns confidence (1–3), coverage (0–1), inferred, and detection_method for privacy evidence, not a fraud score. |
| Batch enrichment | POST /api/v4/lookup/ips accepts up to 1,000 IPv4 or IPv6 addresses. Batches receive a 10% credit discount; invalid and duplicate IPs are excluded before charging. | One batch accepts up to 1,000 API requests, not necessarily 1,000 distinct IPs. Two endpoint queries for one IP count as two entries. |
| Observation time | providers[].last_seen is a Unix timestamp in seconds for each service observation. | Residential-proxy API last_seen is a UTC date. percent_days_seen covers seven days in the API and 30 days in the database. |
| Bulk delivery | Hourly Parquet snapshots, daily rollups, and NDJSON Firehose. These require separate access from the Researcher API plan. | APIs and downloadable databases have product-specific schemas. Privacy Extended is enterprise-only. |
Provider counts are not accuracy benchmarks. Features and freshness depend on the plan.
Using the data
Identify who sells the access.
The ISP owns the address space. A proxy operator or reseller can sell access through it. Synthient’s service tags and research profiles describe that second layer.
Research reseller supply
The Bright Data profile identifies TorchProxies, LemonClub, and OculusProxies as resellers. Research links explain that relationship separately from the services observed in an individual IP lookup.
Distinguish network from usage
network.type can be RESIDENTIAL while providers[].type identifies a commercial VPN or residential proxy. The response separates the address’s network from the service using it.
Batch lookup with fewer credits
A batch of 100 valid, unique IPs costs 90 credits instead of 100 individual lookups. The batch endpoint accepts up to 1,000 IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.
Before you decideQuestions,
Questions,
answered.
Does IPinfo support residential proxy detection?
Yes. Max and the enterprise Custom API support it. The Custom API returns service, last_seen, and percent_days_seen.
Can I use Synthient alongside IPinfo?
Yes. Use IPinfo for the network or location fields your application needs, and Synthient for provider tags, observed behavior, and device observations. Both responses can be joined by IP address.
Is IPinfo’s confidence level the same as a fraud score?
No. IPinfo’s 1–3 levels describe confidence in privacy detection. Synthient’s 0–100 risk score is a different measure.
How does reseller attribution differ from network ownership?
network.asn and network.isp describe the address-space owner. intelligence.providers[] names observed services, including reseller brands. A reseller can obtain supply from several networks, so an ASN alone does not identify it.
