Frequently Asked Questions

What are the HackMyIP trust-seal badges?

They are small, embeddable SVG badges you can add to your GitHub README or website. The "privacy verified" and "privacy checked" badges let you show visitors that your site has been checked with HackMyIP privacy tools. The "IP API" badge credits the free HackMyIP API if your project uses it. Every badge is free and requires no signup.

How do I add a badge to my README or site?

Copy the Markdown snippet for the badge you want and paste it into your README, or copy the HTML snippet and paste it into your web page. Each snippet is a linked image that renders the badge and links back to hackmyip.com. No account or API key is needed.

Do the badges cost anything or need an account?

No. The badges are completely free to use and require no signup, no API key, and no attribution beyond the link the badge itself carries. You can add or remove them at any time.

What does the API status badge show?

The status badge reflects the live health of the HackMyIP API as measured by the site’s own uptime monitor. It reads "online" in green when all monitored services are up, and "issues" in red if a monitored service is down. It is cached briefly so it stays current without hammering the origin.

Can I set the privacy grade shown on the grade badge?

Yes. The grade badge takes a grade parameter, for example ?grade=A+ or ?grade=B, and colors itself from green for a high grade to red for a low grade. Only the grades A+, A, B, C, D and F are accepted; any other value renders a neutral grey question mark.
