# IPs

The whitelist feature ensures that only specified IP addresses can access the API, blocking all others.

The default setting for the whitelist is empty. You have the option to configure it by adding multiple IP addresses, with a maximum limit of 50 addresses. These IP addresses should be listed and separated by commas, such as "172.170.0.0, 155.170.0.1".

Once these user-defined settings take effect, only requests originating from the specified whitelisted sources will be able to access the API normally. Requests from sources not included in the whitelist will be rejected.&#x20;

Kindly be informed that the settings are expected to become active in around 1 minute.
