# Identify the company behind an IP address

Returns the company associated with an IP address, with a confidence level, name, website, size and industry, and on request the IP's location and whether it is a VPN, proxy, mobile or hosting address.

Note: Charged per match.

## Set up

Use the first option your agent supports.

### API (official)

- Base URL: https://api.peopledatalabs.com
- Endpoint: `GET /v5/ip/enrich`
- Auth: send the header `X-Api-Key: $PDL_API_KEY`
- Get a key: https://dashboard.peopledatalabs.com/api-keys
- Docs: https://docs.peopledatalabs.com/docs/authentication

Before anything else, confirm access with the cheapest read-only call, like a list or a search. Never send or change anything to test access.

## Rules

- Ask the user before anything that sends messages, costs money, or changes data, and say how many records it touches. One approval covers a batch the user has seen.
- Never print API keys.
