Tor Exit Nodes Geolocated API

Introduction

Due to privacy concerns, various solutions have emerged that aim to protect your online identity and enable you to surf the internet with anonymity. The Tor Project is one such initiative managed by volunteers across the globe.

However, this can result in inconvenience if you are trying to deliver personalised content and also such systems can allow online scammers to carry out fraudulent activities. Hence, you can use the Insights API to identify and isolate such traffic on your websites. 

This API returns a list of active Tor exit nodes geolocated to country-level along with active carrier information.
