Description

Resolve an IP address to its geographic location with city-level accuracy

How to Use

1

1. Pass the IP address you want to look up in the `ip` query parameter.

2

2. Send a GET request — no additional configuration is needed.

3

3. Inspect the response for `country`, `city`, `latitude`, and `longitude` to determine the approximate location.

4

4. Use the `timezone` field to localise timestamps or the `asn_name` to identify the hosting provider.

About This Tool

Use IP Geolocation Lookup to resolve any public IPv4 or IPv6 address into a physical location. The response includes city, region, country, coordinates, timezone, and ASN information powered by MaxMind GeoIP databases.

This is useful for content localisation, fraud detection, analytics enrichment, and compliance workflows where you need to know the approximate origin of a request.

The endpoint rejects private, loopback, and reserved IP ranges since they cannot be geolocated.

Why Use This Tool

Content localisation — Serve region-specific content based on visitor IP
Fraud detection — Flag transactions originating from unexpected geographies
Analytics enrichment — Add geographic dimensions to your analytics pipeline
Compliance checks — Verify that users are accessing your service from permitted regions
Ad targeting — Determine geographic segments for advertising platforms

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the geolocation data?

City-level accuracy is typically within 25–50 km for most IP addresses. Country-level accuracy exceeds 99%. Results depend on MaxMind GeoIP database coverage, which is updated regularly.

Can I look up private or local IP addresses?

No. Private (10.x, 192.168.x), loopback (127.x), and reserved IP ranges are rejected with a 400 error because they have no geographic meaning.

Does this endpoint support IPv6?

Yes. Both IPv4 and IPv6 public addresses are supported.
