Why Lightning Research
A new standard for
device intelligence
42+
hardware signals
Hardware-Level Accuracy
GPU rendering, WebGL pipelines, and audio processing create fingerprints that survive browser changes, incognito mode, and VPNs.
Real-time
bot detection
AI-Powered Protection
Machine learning models trained on millions of sessions detect bots, fraud patterns, and anomalies before they cause damage.
37ms
avg response
Sub-40ms Response
Edge-deployed across 42 regions. Fingerprint, analyze, and respond faster than a page load. Zero impact on user experience.
Product Suite
Five products.
One platform.
Each product works standalone or together — unified by a single API key and dashboard.
LR Trace
Device Fingerprinting
GPU-level identification that persists across browsers, incognito sessions, and VPNs. Collect 42+ hardware signals and generate a stable device ID in under 40ms.
const result = await client.identify()
// => {
// device_id: "fp_9k2x...mR4",
// confidence: 0.97,
// signals: 42,
// latency_ms: 37
// }
LR Shield
Network Intelligence
Detect VPNs, proxies, Tor exit nodes, and spoofed geolocations in real time. Multi-source IP reputation scoring.
const net = await client.network.analyze(ip)
// => {
// is_vpn: true,
// provider: "NordVPN",
// risk_score: 0.82,
// geo_mismatch: true
// }
LR Guard
Bot Detection
ML-powered behavioral analysis that distinguishes real humans from bots, headless browsers, and automation frameworks in real time.
const bot = await client.bot.detect()
// => {
// is_bot: false,
// bot_score: 0.02,
// human_confidence: 0.98,
// classification: "human"
// }
LR Insight
Behavioral Analytics
Understand your device landscape — OS distribution, browser capabilities, session patterns, and conversion attribution — all in real-time.
const data = await client.analytics.query({
range: "30d",
metrics: ["devices", "sessions"]
})
// => { devices: 14892, sessions: 48201 }
LR Intel
Threat Intelligence
Risk scoring, threat feeds, botnet detection, and anomaly alerting. Know your threat surface before damage occurs.
const threat = await client.threat.assess(id)
// => {
// risk_score: 0.12,
// level: "low",
// flags: [],
// recommendation: "allow"
// }

Testimonials
Trusted worldwide
Lightning Research catches fraud patterns our previous provider missed entirely. The cross-browser accuracy is unmatched.
Sarah Chen
Head of Security, Meridian Payments
We reduced credential stuffing attacks by 94% within the first week. The bot detection is genuinely best-in-class.
James Okoro
CTO, Velocity Commerce
Integration took 15 minutes. The SDK is clean, the docs are thorough, and latency is imperceptible to our users.

Lead Engineer, StackBase
FAQ
Common questions
We collect 42+ browser and hardware signals — GPU renderer, WebGL capabilities, audio context, screen properties, and more — to generate a unique, persistent device identifier without cookies.
Yes. Our GPU-level fingerprinting creates the same device ID whether the user visits from Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Brave. This is our core differentiator.
Absolutely. We collect no personally identifiable information. The system is GDPR, CCPA, and ePrivacy compliant by design.
Our fingerprinting persists through incognito mode because we use hardware-level signals (GPU, audio context) that don't change between sessions.
Average response time is 37ms globally. We operate edge nodes in 42 regions so the nearest node always responds.
Enterprise customers can deploy the entire stack on their own infrastructure. No data ever leaves your network.
JavaScript (React, Vue, Svelte, vanilla), Python, Go, Ruby, and PHP SDKs. REST API, GraphQL, and webhook events.
Free tier includes 10,000 identifications per month. Pro starts at $99/mo. Enterprise is custom. No credit card required.
