API > Blocklist IP Endpoint

Overview

One of the most common uses of the WAF is to block and allow traffic based on specified IP addresses.

Blocked IPs are referred to as being "blocklisted" and explicitly allowed IPs are referred to as "whitelisted".

This API endpoint lets you list, add and remove IP addresses from your IP rules.

Important Notes

This endpoint is designed for adding serial usage (for example: blocking bad IP addresses via a webhook). It is not recommended to make API requests in parallel as this can cause unexpected behavior.

If you have a large list of IPs to be blocked please send it to support@expeditedsecurity.com and we will be happy to import it for you.
