IP Geolocation

API

Free IP geolocation API for visitor location data

Overview

The IP Geolocation API provides a RESTful GET endpoint to retrieve location details from an IP address (auto-detects if no IP is specified). Responses are in JSON, including country, region, city, latitude/longitude, timezone, ISP, and connection type. Use cases include personalizing website content, fraud detection via unusual IP origins, analyzing user demographics for marketing, and optimizing targeted ad delivery. It supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, with simple integration into web or backend systems.

  .then(res => res.json())
