About geoPlugin

GeoPlugin is an IP geolocation API and set of plugin tools that detect a visitor's country, region, city, postal code, coordinates, timezone, currency, and ASN in real time. It provides responses in JavaScript, PHP, XML, JSON, ASP, or CSV formats through a single API call, with an API key obtained via free sign-up. The service also offers a lightweight code snippet for installing on existing websites.

The product is aimed at website owners and developers who want to personalize content based on visitor location without building their own geolocation infrastructure. Listed integrations include Shopify, Webflow, WordPress, BigCommerce, HubSpot, Drupal, Contentful, OpenCart, Magento, Wix, PrestaShop, Squarespace, Joomla, ClickFunnels, and WooCommerce.

Use cases include redirecting visitors to region-specific sites, swapping displayed content by location, showing local currency and pricing, blocking traffic from specific countries or sanctioned regions, and detecting VPNs, proxies, and Tor traffic. Additional tools include a URL shortener, reverse geocoding, and free utilities such as an IP lookup, hreflang tag generator, and country flags tool.
