About IP 2 Country
IP 2 Country is an IP geolocation API that maps IP addresses to countries, returning results in JSON format. It supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, exposes GET and HEAD HTTP methods at a dedicated API endpoint, and is also available as an npm package. It was built by apilayer.
The service has migrated to ipapi.com, which now provides the underlying IP address geolocation and reverse IP lookup functionality, requiring a free API key obtained through ipapi.com. It is intended for developers who need to determine the country associated with an IP address within their applications.
