Authentication

The Tor Node Detector API requires authentication via API key. Include your API key in the request header:

X-API-Key: your_api_key_here

GraphQL AccessALPHA

Access Tor Node Detector through GraphQL to combine it with other API calls in a single request. Query only the tor node detector data you need with precise field selection, and orchestrate complex data fetching workflows.

Credit Cost: Each API called in your GraphQL query consumes its standard credit cost.

POST https://api.apiverve.com/v1/graphql

query {
  tordetect(
    input: {
      ip: "185.189.183.143"
    }
  ) {
    ipAddress
    isTor
    ipDetails {
      range
      country
      region
      timezone
    }
    parsed
  }
}

Note: Authentication is handled via the x-api-key header in your GraphQL request, not as a query parameter.

CORS Support

The Tor Node Detector API supports Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) with wildcard configuration, allowing you to call Tor Node Detector directly from browser-based applications without proxy servers.

Browser Usage: You can call Tor Node Detector directly from JavaScript running in the browser without encountering CORS errors. No proxy server or additional configuration needed.

Rate Limiting

Tor Node Detector API requests are subject to rate limiting based on your subscription plan. These limits ensure fair usage and maintain service quality for all Tor Node Detector users.

Learn more about rate limiting →

Rate Limit Headers

When rate limits apply, each Tor Node Detector response includes headers to help you track your usage:

Handling Rate Limits

Free Plan: When you exceed your rate limit, Tor Node Detector returns a 429 Too Many Requests status code. Your application should implement appropriate backoff logic to handle this gracefully.

Paid Plans: No rate limiting or throttling applied. All paid plans (Starter, Pro, Mega) are production-ready.

Best Practices for Tor Node Detector:

• Monitor the rate limit headers to track your Tor Node Detector usage (Free plan only)
• Cache tor node detector responses where appropriate to reduce API calls
• Upgrade to Pro or Mega for guaranteed no-throttle Tor Node Detector performance

Note: Tor Node Detector rate limits are separate from credit consumption. You may have credits remaining but still hit rate limits when using Tor Node Detector on Free tier.

Error Codes

The Tor Node Detector API uses standard HTTP status codes to indicate success or failure:
