IP-API Geolocation API

Business Profile

Core Value Proposition

IP-API Geolocation API provides fast, accurate IP geolocation data via a simple URL-based API with no API key required for non-commercial use.

Target Customer

Developers and organizations needing IP geolocation data; can be used directly from a browser or server; suitable for non-commercial use without API keys.

Key Differentiator

No API key or registration required for the free endpoint, and the API schema will not change. Free endpoints are non-commercial, with a pro service offering unlimited queries, SSL, and commercial use. Fast performance is supported by dedicated servers in the US, EU, and APAC and an Anycast-based network.

Implementation Timeline

Immediate implementation possible via the simple URL-based API; testing can be performed via demo endpoints. Typical latency claims indicate very fast responses (under 50 ms) in many parts of the world.

Pain Points

1Need reliable IP geolocation data without managing API keys or infrastructure
2Restrictions on free usage (non-commercial only) and a limit of 45 HTTP requests per minute
3No SSL for the free endpoint; SSL and unlimited queries require the pro service

Key Features

2No API key required for the free endpoint
