About ipgeolocation

ipgeolocation provides an API and downloadable databases for IP geolocation and related IP intelligence. Its unified endpoint returns location data (country, region, city, coordinates, timezone), ASN and network information, hosting company details, abuse contact information, security signals, and hostname lookups for a given IP address. Additional standalone APIs cover IP security/threat detection, real-time proxy and VPN detection, ASN lookups, IP abuse contacts, time zone, user-agent parsing, and astronomy data. Corresponding databases are available for offline or bulk use, including IP geolocation, IP security, IP company, IP-to-ASN, IP abuse contact, IP WHOIS, ASN WHOIS, IP hosting, and residential proxy data.

The service offers a free plan with no card required, providing core modules (location, country metadata, currency, ASN, and time zone) under a daily request limit at one credit per successful call. A paid plan adds advanced modules such as hostname, network, security, company, abuse contact, and user agent data, along with more detailed location fields like locality and accuracy radius. The user agent module cannot be combined with the main IP geolocation endpoint on the free plan and requires a separate Developer-plan API call.

SDKs are provided for the IP Geolocation API in Java, Python, Go, Ruby, JavaScript (Node and browser), TypeScript, PHP, C#, Rust, Kotlin, Swift, and C++, along with a client-side plugin for the Astronomy API. The product is aimed at use cases including fraud prevention, analytics, personalization, and risk decisioning that depend on IP-derived context.
