It resolves IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to city, country, and postal-code level using data sourced from DB-IP and MaxMind GeoLite2, updated daily. Paid plans start at $12 per month with a free tier of 1,000 lookups per day for testing, and an enterprise tier reaching 15 million monthly lookups. The API uses key-based auth, offers Python and Node.js SDKs, and is GDPR compliant, though data caching and sublicensing are prohibited under its terms.", "capabilities": { "supported_actions": [ "ip_lookup", "single_field_lookup", "client_ip_auto_detect", "bulk_lookup", "asn_lookup" ], "supported_regions": [ "IPv4 support", "IPv6 support", "city-level geolocation", "country-level geolocation", "postal/zip code level", "database updated daily", "data sourced from DB-IP and MaxMind GeoLite2" ], "supported_languages": [], "input_types": [ "IPv4 address", "IPv6 address", "requester IP auto-detect" ], "output_types": [ "ip", "network", "version", "city", "region", "region_code", "country", "country_name", "country_code", "country_code_iso3", "country_capital", "country_tld", "continent_code", "in_eu", "postal", "latitude", "longitude", "timezone", "utc_offset", "country_calling_code", "currency", "currency_name", "languages", "country_area", "country_population", "ASN", "org", "JSON", "JSONP", "XML", "CSV", "YAML" ], "webhooks_supported": false, "sandbox_available": false, "sdk_languages": [ "Python", "JavaScript (Node.js)" ], "mcp_server_available": false }, "integration": { "api_style": "rest", "base_url": "https://ipapi.co/", "api_version": null, "versioning_scheme": "none", "stability": "ga", "deprecation_policy_url": null, "auth_methods": [ "api_key" ], "auth_docs_url": "https://ipapi.co/api/", "idempotency_supported": null, "error_format": "vendor-specific", "webhook_signing": null, "webhook_events_url": null, "rate_limit_requests": 1000, "rate_limit_window": "day", "sdk_packages": [ { "package": "ipapi", "language": "Python", "official": true, "repo_url": "https://github.com/ipapi-co/ipapi-python" }, { "package": "ipapi.co", "language": "JavaScript (Node.js)", "official": true, "repo_url": "https://github.com/ipapi-co/ipapi-nodejs" } ], "mcp_url": null, "quickstart_url": "https://ipapi.co/api/" }, "pricing": { "pricing_model": "subscription", "has_published_pricing": true, "starting_price_usd": "12.0000", "price_basis": "month", "free_tier_available": true, "free_tier_limit": "1,000 requests/day (~30,000/month)", "free_tier_details": "Recurring free tier: up to 30,000 lookups/month (1,000/day cap);
