If you have IP restrictions on your source database, you’ll need to allowlist the PlanetScale IP addresses so we can connect during the import process. The IPs you need depend on the region of your PlanetScale database.

​
Retrieve IP addresses via API

You can get the list of IP addresses for your database’s region by visiting the following URL in your browser while logged into PlanetScale: 
https://api.planetscale.com/v1/organizations/<ORG>/databases/<DATABASE>
Replace <ORG> with your organization name and <DATABASE> with your database name. The response includes a region object with a public_ip_addresses array containing all the IPs you need to allowlist: 
{
  "id": "rr0qdj0nin8q",
  "type": "Database",
  "region": {
    "id": "ri0pbcmdkjsh",
    "type": "Region",
    "provider": "AWS",
    "enabled": true,
    "public_ip_addresses": [
      "18.117.23.127",
      "3.131.243.164",
      "3.132.168.252",
      "3.131.252.213",
      "3.132.182.173",
      "3.15.49.114",
      "3.209.149.66",
      "3.215.97.46",
      "34.193.111.15"
    ],
    "display_name": "AWS us-east-2",
    "location": "Ohio",
    "slug": "aws-us-east-2"
  }
}
Add each IP address from the public_ip_addresses array to your source database’s allowlist before starting the import.
