What is the difference between the data feeds and the Context API?
Data feeds are slices of IP Context data designed for bulk ingestion — the most interesting subsets of Spur's data. The Context API is a hosted, queryable version of all of Spur's IP data.

How can I download data on all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses?
IP location, routing, and ownership information is produced at the network level and presented into netblocks. Other data such as client fields or service attributions are produced on an individual IP address basis. For our API customer this coverage is automatically merged to produce full IPv4 and IPv6 coverage. For on-prem services, a combination of these two granularities must be used to cover all IP space.
How can I download all IP addresses for a certain VPN or proxy provider?
This functionality is reserved for our on-prem data customers. Our API access only allows for individual IP Address lookups.
Does Spur offer downloadable feeds, local deployments, or MMDB-style delivery?
Available delivery methods may vary by product and customer requirements. Organizations with low-latency or high-volume enrichment needs should contact Spur to discuss available deployment and data-delivery options.
What formats do you offer on-prem data in?
Our API and on-prem solutions default to JSON format. Some on-prem tiers can also be downloaded in mmdb or CSV format. Please see our Exports API for examples of server-side pre-processing or filtering.
How frequently is Spur data updated?
The Context API reflects new intelligence in real time as it becomes available. Data feeds are updated daily, and organizations can also consume updates in real-time through streaming or feed-based workflows depending on operational requirements.
