title: 'IPGeolocation.io: IPGeolocation API'
version: "3.0"
description: |
Look up geolocation, network, company, ASN, timezone, currency, abuse contact, and security
threat data for any IPv4 address, IPv6 address, or domain name. The API also parses
User-Agent strings when requested.
Two endpoints are available:
- **Single lookup** (`GET /v3/ipgeo`) returns data for one IP or domain per request.
- **Bulk lookup** (`POST /v3/ipgeo-bulk`) accepts up to 50,000 IPs or domains in a
single request. Requires a paid plan.
Use query parameters to control which optional modules are included, which fields are
returned, and which fields are excluded. Both endpoints share the same query parameters
and the same response schema per IP.
## Authentication
Two authentication methods are supported:
### API Key
Pass your API key as the `apiKey` query parameter on every request. You can find your
key in the [IPGeolocation dashboard](https://app.ipgeolocation.io/). Store it in
server-side environment variables. Avoid exposing it in client-side JavaScript.
### Request Origin (CORS)
Available on paid plans only. Whitelist your domain in the dashboard under the
"API Keys" section. Once configured, requests from that domain (and all its subdomains)
are accepted without passing `apiKey`. Enter your root domain (e.g. `example.com`),
not the full URL.
Each plan has a limit on the number of extra API keys and request origins:
| Plan | Extra API Keys + Request Origins |
|---|---|
| Starter (150K requests) | 1 |
| Core (250K requests) | 1 |
| Plus (500K requests) | 2 |
| Pro (1M requests) | 2 |
| Business (2M requests) | 3 |
| Premium (5M requests) | 3 |
Additional keys or origins can be added for $2.50 per month each.
## Response Formats
The API supports JSON (default) and XML output.
- Set the `output` query parameter to `json` or `xml`.
- Alternatively, set the `Accept` header to `application/json`, `application/xml`,
or `text/xml`.
If neither is specified, the response is returned as JSON. XML responses use a
`LinkedHashMap` root element.
## Credits
Credits are charged only on successful HTTP 200 responses. The exact charge for any
request is returned in the `X-Credits-Charged` response header.
| Condition | Credits charged |
|---|---|
| Base lookup (location, ASN, company, network, currency, timezone) | 1 |
| Adding `dma_code`, `geo_accuracy`, `hostname`, or `user_agent` | 0 extra (still 1) |
| Adding `security` | +2 (total 3) |
| Adding `abuse` | +1 (total 2) |
| Adding `security` and `abuse` | +3 (total 4) |
| `include=*` (everything) | 4 |
| Only `security` via `include=security&fields=security` | 2 |
| Only `abuse` via `include=abuse&fields=abuse` | 1 |
For bulk requests, total credits equal credits per lookup multiplied by the number of
valid IPs. Private, bogon, and malformed IPs are not counted as valid and do not
consume credits.
## Response Language
Pass `lang` to get translated location names. English is the default. Non-English
responses require a paid plan.
## Field Filtering
Use `fields` to cherry-pick specific fields, or `excludes` to drop fields you do not
need. Both accept dot-notation for nested fields (e.g. `location.city`,
`security.threat_score`). The `ip` field is always present regardless of filters.
## Parameter Name Casing
Query parameter names are case-sensitive. Use exact names such as `apiKey`, `ip`,
`include`, `fields`, `excludes`, `lang`, and `output`.
## Rate Limits
- **Free plan:** 1,000 requests per day (hard limit).
- **Paid plans:** No daily, hourly, or monthly rate limit. If the monthly quota is
exceeded, requests continue and a surcharge is added to the monthly bill.
## Free vs. Paid Plan Differences
| Capability | Free | Paid |
|---|---|---|
| IPv4 / IPv6 lookup | Yes | Yes |
| Domain lookup | No | Yes |
| Bulk lookup (`/v3/ipgeo-bulk`) | No | Yes |
| `include` parameter (optional modules) | No | Yes |
| `lang` (non-English responses) | No | Yes |
| `fields` / `excludes` filtering | Yes | Yes |
| `network` object in default response | No | Yes |
| `company` object in default response | No | Yes |
| Basic `asn` fields (`as_number`, `organization`, `country`) | Yes | Yes |
| Extended `asn` fields (`type`, `domain`, `rir`, `date_allocated`) | No | Yes |

summary: IPGeolocation.io Single IP Geolocation Lookup
description: |
Returns geolocation and enrichment data for a single IPv4 address, IPv6 address,
or domain name. When `ip` is omitted, the API resolves the caller's public IP
automatically, which is useful for client-side lookups.
The base response always includes `location`, `country_metadata`, `currency`,
`asn`, and `time_zone`. Paid plans also get `network` and `company` by default.
Use the `include` parameter to add optional modules such as `security`, `abuse`,
`user_agent`, `geo_accuracy`, `dma_code`, and hostname resolution.
Use `fields` and `excludes` to control exactly which parts of the response you
receive. This reduces payload size and can improve response times.

summary: IPGeolocation.io Bulk IP Geolocation Lookup
description: |
Returns geolocation and enrichment data for up to 50,000 IPv4 addresses, IPv6
addresses, or domain names in a single request. The request body must be a JSON
object with an `ips` array.
This endpoint requires a paid plan. Calling it with a free
plan API key returns HTTP 401.
The response is a JSON array with one element per IP in the request. Each element
is either a full geolocation response object or an error object with only a
`message` field. Invalid, bogon, and unresolvable entries appear as error
objects. Invalid, private, and bogon IPs are not billed.
This endpoint supports the same query parameters as the single lookup endpoint,
including `lang`, `include`, `fields`, `excludes`, and `output`.
Credits are calculated as: credits per lookup multiplied by the number of valid
IPs in the request. The total is returned in the `X-Credits-Charged` response
header. When at least one submitted ip is invalid, the `X-Successful-Record`
response header indicates how many entries were successfully resolved.
Only the `POST` method is accepted. Sending a `GET` request returns HTTP 405.

parameters:
Ip:
name: ip
in: query
required: false
description: |
An IPv4 address, IPv6 address, or domain name to look up. When omitted, the API
resolves the public IP of the requesting client. Empty or whitespace-only values
are treated the same as omission and resolve caller IP. Domain lookups require a
paid plan. Pass `ip` only once. If multiple `ip` query parameters are sent,
values may be merged and treated as invalid input (HTTP 400).
schema:
type: string
examples:
ipv4:
summary: IPv4 address
value: "91.128.103.196"
ipv6:
summary: IPv6 address
value: "2607:fb91:16c6:8860:e531:2d1d:4944:6c7c"
domain:
summary: Domain name (paid plans only)
value: "ipgeolocation.io"
Lang:
name: lang
in: query
required: false
description: |
Language code for translated location names. Defaults to `en`. Non-English
responses require a paid plan. Free plans always receive English regardless
of this parameter. Unsupported `lang` values return HTTP 400.
schema:
type: string
default: "en"
enum:
- en
- de
- ru
- ja
- fr
- cn
- es
- cs
- it
- ko
- fa

Include:
name: include
in: query
required: false
description: |
Comma-separated list of optional data modules to add to the response. These are
not returned by default. Requires a paid plan.
**Available values:**
| Value | What it adds | Extra credits |
|---|---|---|
| `geo_accuracy` | `location.locality`, `location.accuracy_radius`, `location.confidence` | 0 |
| `dma_code` | `location.dma_code` (US IPs only) | 0 |
| `user_agent` | `user_agent` object (parses the `User-Agent` header) | 0 |
| `security` | `security` object with threat signals | +2 |
| `abuse` | `abuse` object with abuse contact info | +1 |
| `hostname` | `hostname` field (from local database, fast, experimental) | 0 |
| `liveHostname` | `hostname` field (live DNS lookup, slower, accurate) | 0 |
| `hostnameFallbackLive` | `hostname` field (local first, falls back to live) | 0 |
| `*` | All of the above | +3 |
If multiple hostname options are passed in `include`, hostname resolution uses
this precedence order: `liveHostname` first, then `hostname`, then
`hostnameFallbackLive`.
If none is specified, the `hostname` field is not returned.
For `user_agent`, the API parses the `User-Agent` header from the request. For
server-side calls, forward your visitor's User-Agent string in the header so the
parsed result matches the actual visitor.
For additional query parameters (`include`, `fields`, `excludes`, `output`),
unknown values are ignored. The API still returns HTTP 200 and applies only
recognized values.
Free plan behavior for `include=*`: the API returns HTTP 200 and ignores the
include request, returning only base response fields. In contrast, specific
include values such as `include=security` return HTTP 401 on free plans.

Fields:
name: fields
in: query
required: false
description: |
Comma-separated list of fields or objects to return. Everything else is omitted.
The `ip` field is always returned regardless of this filter.
Supports dot-notation for nested fields: `location.city`, `asn.organization`.
To return an entire object, use the object key: `location`, `security`.
If a field belongs to an optional module (e.g. `security.threat_score`), you
must also pass the corresponding `include` value.
If you omit `include`, the request still succeeds, but fields from optional
modules are not returned.
If the same field or object is specified in both `fields` and `excludes`, the
object is still returned, but it will be empty.
If the same field or object is specified in `include`, `fields`, and `excludes`,
`include` takes priority over both `fields` and `excludes`.
If you list both an object key and one of its nested fields separated by comma
(e.g. `security,security.threat_score`), the full object is returned.
Unknown field paths are ignored. The API still returns HTTP 200.
Available on all plans including Free.

in: query
required: false
description: |
Comma-separated list of fields or objects to remove from the response. The `ip`
field cannot be excluded.
Supports dot-notation for nested fields: `location.continent_code`.
To exclude an entire object, use the object key: `currency`, `time_zone`.
If the same field or object is specified in both `fields` and `excludes`, the
object is still returned, but it will be empty.
If the same field or object is specified in `include`, `fields`, and `excludes`,
`include` takes priority over both `fields` and `excludes`.
Unknown fields or object keys in `excludes` are ignored. The API still returns
HTTP 200.
Available on all plans including Free.

description: |
Desired response format. Defaults to `json` if not specified. You can also
control the format using the `Accept` header (`application/json`,
`application/xml`, or `text/xml`). If both are provided, the `output` parameter
takes precedence.
If `output` is unknown or unsupported, it is ignored and the response defaults
to JSON (`application/json`) with HTTP 200.

Not found. Returned for one of the following reasons:
- A syntactically valid IPv4 or IPv6 address does not exist in the IPGeolocation database.
- An IPv4 address, IPv6 address, or domain name is passed as a path variable
instead of as a URL query parameter (e.g., using `/v3/ipgeo/8.8.8.8`

PayloadTooLarge:
description: |
Payload too large. Returned by the edge proxy (nginx) when raw POST body size
exceeds configured limits before the request reaches the application.
This status is based on payload byte size, not on the number of IP entries. It
can occur even when `ips` contains only one very large value.
If both conditions apply (oversized body and `ips` count > 50,000), HTTP 413 may
be returned first because edge validation runs before application-level checks.
