IP Blacklist Check in Google Sheets & Excel

What this pulls

Screen IPs by the row. Flags addresses on malicious blocklists down a column — Sheets or Excel.

It's one of 250+ live sources you reach with a single =VERVE() function — served from APIVerve's production data engine, billed at 5 credits per resolved cell, and refreshed on whatever cadence you set. No API keys to wrangle, no scripts, no exports.

See it in a cell

A real example — the input you type, and the values you can pull from it. Click any cell to see the formula behind it.

Ways to use it

Resolve a column of hosts

Fill =VERVE("ipblacklistlookup", "185.220.101.1", "field", "ipAddress") down your list of hosts or IPs and land the answer for each in its own row — no terminal, no scripts.

Enrich logs or inventories

Add IP Blacklist Check's lookup beside an existing table to turn bare identifiers into readable, structured detail.

Compose checks

Combine the result with IF and conditional formatting to surface the rows that need attention.

Use it in your sheet

The same function works in both apps — install once, sign in with your key, and type it into any cell.

Google SheetsAdd-on

Install from the Workspace Marketplace, then drop the formula into a cell. Autocomplete suggests the source and its fields.

=VERVE("ipblacklistlookup", "185.220.101.1", "field", "ipAddress")

Microsoft ExcelAdd-in

Same source, same arguments, same key — in Excel on desktop, the web, or mobile. Excel namespaces it as VERVE.CALL. Drag to fill a whole column.

=VERVE.CALL("ipblacklistlookup", "185.220.101.1", "field", "ipAddress")

Fields you can pull

Add a field name as the last argument to land just that value in the cell.

Premium marks data included on paid plans. On the Free plan a marked field is withheld and a marked input is ignored — either way the cell reads #PREMIUM(name) instead of a value, so a gated answer can never be mistaken for a real one. Everything unmarked works on every plan. Compare plans

IP Blacklist Check, answered

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull IP Blacklist Check into Google Sheets?

Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in once with your key, and type =VERVE("ipblacklistlookup", "185.220.101.1", "field", "ipAddress") into any cell. The "field" argument names the value you want back, so the cell resolves to a single number or string you can chart, sort, or feed into another formula.

What data can I pull from IP Blacklist Check?

IP Blacklist Check returns ipAddress, isIPBlacklisted, inbound.found, inbound.description and ipDetails.ip, plus 3 more — name any one of them as the "field" argument and that value lands in the cell. Leave the field out and the whole record spills into a two-column table instead.

Which IP Blacklist Check fields need a paid plan?

inbound, outbound, threatLevel and ipDetails are included from the Starter plan up. On the Free plan the cell returns #PREMIUM(field) rather than a wrong or empty value, so it's always obvious which one to upgrade for. Every other field works on Free.

Can I fill a whole column of IP Blacklist Check at once?

Yes. Put your ip values down a column and point the formula at the range — A2:A50 instead of A2 — and one call returns a value for every row. Dragging the formula down works too, but the range form is a single billed call per column rather than one per cell.

How many credits does each IP Blacklist Check cell cost?

Each resolved cell costs 5 credits. A cell only re-bills when it actually refreshes, so a sheet you aren't touching doesn't keep charging.

Does IP Blacklist Check work in Excel as well as Google Sheets?

Yes — same arguments, same key, same fields. Excel namespaces custom functions, so the call is =VERVE.CALL() there and =VERVE() in Google Sheets; nothing else about it changes.
