FAQs

IP geolocation is the process of determining the geographical location of a device based on its IP address. IPLocate.io provides comprehensive geolocation data including country, region, city, postal code, and latitude/longitude coordinates of the nearest city center. This is sometimes called ”IP to location” or ”IP to address” lookup.

You can view your own IP address information, including geolocation details, using our ‘What is my IP’ IP lookup tool. This free tool provides instant access to your IP's geolocation and network information.

IP geolocation data is commonly used for content personalization, fraud prevention, traffic analysis, regulatory compliance, targeted advertising, and cybersecurity applications. Our customers leverage our API for everything from localizing content to detecting suspicious login attempts.

From your IP address, someone can typically determine your general location (city/region), your Internet Service Provider, and whether you're using a proxy or VPN.

What data does an IP address reveal?
How IP geolocation works

IPLocate processes 50 terabytes of data every day to maintain one of the most accurate IP geolocation databases in the industry. We update our database daily to ensure the highest level of precision and coverage. However, geolocation accuracy can be affected by several factors, including the use of VPNs or proxies, mobile networks, rural or remote locations with limited infrastructure, and corporate networks that route traffic through centralized gateways. IPLocate’s security intelligence features help identify when users are masking their true location.

Our IP Geolocation API provides IP lookup results in JSON format.

Yes, our geolocation API fully supports lookups for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

Yes, our IP info API provides IP to ASN and ISP information. This includes IP to Autonomous System Number, IP to Organization & Country Code, IP to Network & Domain. We also provide the type of organization and network — for example: hosting, ISP, government, education. This data is included on all free and paid plans.

Yes, our service includes threat intelligence data that can help identify if an IP address belongs to a proxy, VPN, or Tor exit node.

Our free IP location lookup API provides detailed, accurate geolocation data for any IP address. This includes the estimated latitude and longitude, as well as the city, region, country, time zone, and more. You can use this data to create maps, analyze user behavior, and more.

IPLocate updates its IP geolocation database daily to ensure the most accurate and current information. This regular update schedule helps maintain high accuracy as IP allocations and network configurations change over time.

IPLocate provides an API that can be used with any programming language. For example, you can use our IP location lookup API in JavaScript, Python, Ruby, PHP, Go, Rust, Node.js, and more. We also offer client libraries for popular languages to simplify API integration. See our API documentation for more information on how to get started.
