Crowdsourced Bot Network IP Database API
A continuously updated, community-fed database of known bot network IP ranges and residential proxy endpoints, accessible via API. Users contribute detected bot IPs and query the database for IP reputation checks, with auto-sync capabilities for Google Ads exclusion lists. The database grows more valuable with each user contribution.
為什麼這很重要
You manage online ad campaigns and have slowly built up an IP exclusion list of hundreds or thousands of known bot networks. You did this manually, one campaign at a time, discovering each bot IP after it already wasted your budget. You wonder why there isn't a shared database where advertisers pool their collective knowledge of bot networks. When you find a new bot IP, you want to contribute it so others don't have to learn the hard way. You also want to benefit from others' discoveries automatically, syncing new bot IPs to your exclusion list without lifting a finger.
- · 專為 Developers and marketers running online ad campaigns who currently maintain manual IP exclusion lists, plus ad-tech companies needing IP reputation data 打造。
- · 最可能的變現方式：Freemium API (free tier with rate limits, paid for bulk queries and auto-sync)。

差異化
為什麼這件事可能失敗
自我反駁——最重要的信任度信號
- 1IP-based detection is becoming obsolete as bot operators shift to residential proxies from compromised consumer devices, meaning the database's core asset (IP ranges) loses value over time
- 2Established IP reputation vendors like MaxMind and IPQualityScore already have massive databases and could add a community-contribution feature quickly if they see the threat
- 3The database could be poisoned by malicious submissions — competitors could submit legitimate publisher IPs as bots, and without expensive verification, false positives would erode trust
證據綜述
AI 如何合成此洞察——無原話引用
One commenter explicitly described maintaining over 4000 manually excluded IP networks just in the US, and another directly asked whether a shared database exists. A third user suggested a site called knock-knock.net as similar but limited. Multiple commenters (~4) explained that bot networks increasingly use residential proxies from trojan-infected smart TVs, routers, and consumer software, making pure IP-range blocking less effective over time. The clear gap is a community-fed, ad-fraud-specific IP database with auto-sync to ad platforms, though the residential proxy trend threatens the long-term viability of any IP-centric approach.
