The IP API

About The IP API

The IP API is a developer-first IP geolocation service that returns country, city, latitude and longitude, timezone, currency, ASN and the owning company for any IPv4 or IPv6 address in a single call, with predictable JSON and no SDK required — a plain HTTP GET is the whole integration. Two edge points of presence, in Ashburn and Frankfurt, back a quoted median latency around 25 ms and a 99.95% uptime SLA, and paid tiers let you pin requests to a US or EU PoP. The underlying dataset refreshes daily. The vendor documents seven distinct product surfaces it is aimed at — localised e-commerce pricing and currency, suspicious-login and impossible-travel detection in an auth stack, travel personalisation, geo-targeted ad campaigns with ASN-level slicing, streaming geo-restriction enforceable at the CDN edge, and bot and VPN filtering — which is a more concrete framing than most geolocation vendors offer. Commercial use is permitted on every plan including the free tier, and examples ship for curl, Node, Python and Go. The free tier requires no card and is quoted as permanent rather than a trial, and the vendor answers integration questions directly on the pricing page — no SDK, no complex setup, responses in milliseconds — which matches the deliberately narrow surface area of the product. Paid tiers differ only on request volume, edge-PoP choice and support priority; the data returned is identical at every level, including free.
