The web verdict and curl verdict share one contract.

One address, one command, one evidence record. The browser verdict, the terminal verdict, and the JSON payload are three views of the same evidence record and separately versioned experimental interpretation — no API key, no signup, no dashboard.

curl ipjury.com/8.8.8.8

What comes back

Plain curl gets the terminal rendering. The same request with Accept: application/json, or against /api/v1/ip/8.8.8.8, returns the structured record. Shape, abbreviated:

{
          "ip": "8.8.8.8",
          "stack": "ipv4",
          "headline": "Public infrastructure resolver, no abuse record in covered sources",
          "verdicts": {

Every endpoint

Current connection

curl ipjury.com or /api/v1/self. Returned private, no-store and never shared cross-origin.

Any address

/8.8.8.8 or /api/v1/ip/8.8.8.8. IPv4 and IPv6 both accepted.

Streaming deliberation

curl -N ipjury.com/api/v1/stream/8.8.8.8 emits NDJSON source progress and cache state, followed by the completed evidence record. A progress event is not an individual juror's substantive finding.

Compare two addresses

/api/v1/compare?left=8.8.8.8&right=1.1.1.1 returns both records plus the axes that differ. It never ranks a winner.

Source disclosure

/api/v1/sources lists every juror, its lineage group, license review date, cache policy, and privacy behavior — including sources currently withheld.

Health

/api/v1/health reports readiness and the active public-display profile identity. Its operations surface declares isolate-local, closed-window operational summaries, not user history or a whole-site traffic measurement.

Experimental interpretation

The browser renders the same interpretation without recalculating it: label accompanies the evidence band, range or provisional bounds determines the shaded scale interval, and value places a tick only for a point. Visible WHY rows preserve explanation order and zero contributions; full lines remain in the calculation disclosure and exports. The confidence token reads interpretation.confidence; the separate answered-juror token reads verdicts.coverage.detail. Address range and registration country remain in the full report's identity section. These presentation choices add no API field or scoring rule.

The ipjury-result-v2 envelope includes independently versioned interpretation.schema = ipjury-score-v3. An available result has a point value and matching bounds. A provisional result has value: null, numeric bounds and possibleValues; use display for its policy range, never a midpoint. withheld and not-applicable have no numeric bounds and should not display /100. The original evidence band is unchanged: LIMITED may coexist with a point when all core axes answered but optional sources did not.

assessedAxes, missing, observed, summary and nextAction explain the coverage. explanation contains point arithmetic or the known facts and range basis, without hypothetical evidence claims. principles.globalScoreCalculated signals a point; scoreRangeCalculated signals a provisional range. Both are false for an unassessed record. A null value is neither zero nor necessarily an empty result. Compare only matching policy versions and scopes.

/api/v1/asn/54600/traffic is the separate native traffic resource. Its fixed scope is seven days, HTML requests, ASN-wide. It returns ready, stale, no-data, unavailable or withheld. Percentages are null unless an approved public-display profile and source data are available; a token alone does not activate publication. Current interpretation snapshots do not change after a later traffic response. This endpoint shares the lookup limiter, accepts GET/HEAD and no custom filters, and never exposes a Cloudflare token.

Dated source observations

context.observationRecord[] carries per-source observations, not a history of the address or a historical score. Each entry names sourceId, subject, claim and status (observed or withdrawn), alongside firstObservedAt, lastObservedAt, lastChangedAt, changeCount and editionStale. Its optional window has the source's first and latest committed edition dates; one source's window is not the site's coverage.

historyStatus distinguishes recorded (dated events returned), none (the ledger returned an empty event list for this entry), and not_retrieved (old payload, unavailable or invalid history). Never interpret not_retrieved as a quiet history. Each event contains only kind and observedAt; kinds are first_observation, value_changed and withdrawn. Events are newest first, at most 10 per entry and 50 per record; eventsTruncated flags a cut. The displayed count is the number shown, not an invented total: changeCount excludes first observations.

Text, Markdown and BBCode include source-named WATCHED rows, date-and-kind CHANGE rows, and explicit missing-history or truncation notes. Copy retains the source's own observation window and the stale-edition warning. The PNG remains a current evidence summary without per-source history; use text or JSON for the dated observations. A recorded withdrawal means that the source stopped publishing that claim in a later edition, not that an address became safe. Digests and historical values are not exported; the six axes and experimental interpretation do not read these events.

Output formats

Append ?format= or send an Accept header: json, text, markdown, bbcode, handover on the address route, and NDJSON on the stream routes. Markdown exists so a verdict can be pasted into an issue, a ticket, or a message without reformatting.

curl ipjury.com/8.8.8.8?format=markdown
        curl ipjury.com/8.8.8.8?format=bbcode
        irm ipjury.com/8.8.8.8

Handover to a seller or support desk

On the existing address route, ?format=handover returns plain text beginning with the unchanged standard text export, including all WATCHED / CHANGE / CHANGES lines. The supplement names all six axes with confidence, every returned juror with source, claim, status and retrieval date, and the method and score versions. Retrieval dates are not independent observation times; a source’s history keeps its own dated window.

curl 'https://ipjury.com/8.8.8.8?format=handover&scenario=proxy'

The optional scenario is exactly proxy, friction or mail, and adds the same Cannot confirm sentence shown by that selected report task. An unsupported scenario returns 400 rather than silently using a different task. Omit it for a general record. Open an example handover for 8.8.8.8.

The response is private, no-store. It uses the normal checked record, cache and permission gates; requesting it may perform a new lookup and cannot freeze an earlier browser result. To hand over the exact currently displayed record without a new request, use the existing Copy text action. Neither format certifies identity, platform acceptance or the truth of an outside source.

Access and limits

• No API key, no signup. Single-address checks are free and anonymous.
• Shared fair-use limit. Roughly 90 lookups per minute per client across every surface — web, curl, stream, and compare together. A comparison counts as two. Limit state is returned in X-RateLimit-* headers.
• No bulk or monitoring tier at launch. Do not build a scanner on this endpoint.
• Attribution. Keep the named sources and checked time when sharing a record. A link to the address runs a current lookup; it is not a permanent copy of the earlier result.

Contract guarantees

• No upstream risk_score, ip_score or purity_score is imported. The separately named experimental interpretation is IPJury policy, not source evidence or a platform-success probability.
• Every axis carries a label, confidence, basis, status, and detail — so a claim can be traced to what produced it.
• Every juror names its source lineage and its limitations, and abstentions appear as abstentions rather than negative findings.
• Partial source failure narrows the verdict or returns an explicitly labeled stale record. It never silently fills the gap.
• Private, shared, reserved, and other special-use addresses are classified locally and never sent to an external source.

The rules behind these outputs are documented in the methodology, and every juror is listed in the source register.
