The InfoOnIP action retrieves additional information about IP addresses by querying external services.
This can include:
- Reverse DNS lookup (getting the URL/domain from an IP address)
- Geolocation (city, country, coordinates, etc.)
- WHOIS ownership information (organization details, etc.)
This action is helpful for data enrichment and security analysis where additional context about IP addresses is required.
¶ Use Case Example: Reverse DNS Lookup
¶ Goal:
Convert a list of IP addresses into their corresponding domain names using Reverse DNS Lookup.
