IP Restrictions

The API enforces geographic IP restrictions to protect against unauthorized access. These checks run before authentication and rate limiting.

Allowed countries

Requests are only accepted from the following countries:

Country Code
Sweden SE
Norway NO
Denmark DK
Finland FI
Germany DE

Requests originating from other countries will receive 403 Forbidden.

Abuse detection

Each IP address is checked against an abuse database. If the IP has a positive abuse confidence score, the request is blocked with 403 Forbidden.

Abuse check results are cached for 7 days per IP to minimize lookup overhead.

Error responses

Blocked requests return 403 Forbidden with one of the following messages:

Message Cause
Forbidden IP-address, contact support@tic.io. IP flagged for abuse
Forbidden country, contact support@tic.io. IP originates from a non-allowed country
