Important Security Update: JKT48Connect REST API Now Requires IP Whitelisting

We're announcing an important security enhancement to the JKT48Connect system that affects all REST API users. To ensure better security and reliability of our services, we've implemented mandatory IP whitelisting for all REST API endpoints.

This update is designed to provide enhanced protection for our API infrastructure while maintaining the high-quality service you expect from JKT48Connect.

What's Changed

New IP Whitelisting Requirement

Starting immediately, all REST API access requires your IP address to be whitelisted in our system. This security measure helps us:

• Prevent unauthorized access to API endpoints
• Reduce server load from illegitimate requests
• Improve overall system stability and performance
• Provide better security for all users

Easy Whitelisting Process

We've made the IP whitelisting process as simple as possible with two convenient methods:

How to Whitelist Your IP Address

Method 1: WhatsApp Bot

The fastest way to whitelist your IP is through our WhatsApp bot:

1. Contact our WhatsApp bot at: 6285189020193
2. Send the command: .addip
3. Follow the instructions provided by the bot
4. Your IP will be processed and added to the whitelist

Method 2: Discord Bot

Alternatively, you can use our Discord bot for IP whitelisting:

1. Add the JKT48Connect API bot to your Discord server or DM it directly
2. Bot Authorization URL: https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=1386279008244858880
3. Use the provided commands to submit your IP address
4. Receive confirmation once your IP is whitelisted

What This Means for You

For New Users

If you're new to JKT48Connect REST API, you'll need to complete the IP whitelisting process before you can access any API endpoints. This is a one-time setup that ensures secure access to all features.

For Existing Users

Current API users will need to whitelist their IP addresses to continue accessing the REST API. Without whitelisting, API requests will be blocked starting from this update.

For Dynamic IP Users

If you're using a dynamic IP address that changes frequently, you may need to update your whitelist periodically. Both the WhatsApp and Discord bots can help you manage multiple IP addresses if needed.
