Check IP Blacklists with a Single Curl Command

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer created a free API that checks an IP against 12 DNS-based blacklists in one request. The tool, hackmyip.com, handles DNSBL queries that often fail on public resolvers like 8.8.8.8. It returns a clean/listed status along with per-list results.
