+Package: rIP
+Type: Package
+Title: Passes an array of IP addresses to iphub.info and returns a dataframe with details of IP
+Version: 0.1.0
+Author: Ryan Kennedy
+Maintainer: Ryan Kennedy <rkennedy@uh.edu>
+Description: Takes as its input an array of IPs and the user's X-Key, passes these to iphub.info, and returns a dataframe with the ip (used for merging), country code, country name, asn, isp, block, and hostname.
+    Especially important in this is the variable "block", which gives a score indicating whether the IP address is likely from a server farm and should be excluded from the data. It is codes 0 if the IP is residential/unclassified (i.e. safe IP), 1 if the IP is non-residential IP (hostping provider, proxy, etc. -- should likely be excluded), and 2 for non-residential and residential IPs (more stringent, may flag innocent respondents).
+    The recommendation from iphub.info is to block or exclude those who score block = 1.

-# rIP
-This is an R code project for detecting likely responsese from server farms on MTurk surveys. It will eventually be built into a package, but for now is an easy function for use. Credit to @tylerburleigh for pointing out the utility of iphub.info. His method for incorporating this information into Qualtrics surveys can be found here: https://twitter.com/tylerburleigh/status/1042528912511848448?s=19.
