ipdata is an IP geolocation and threat intelligence API, launched in 2017, that returns location, ASN, carrier, company, timezone, currency, and threat profile data for any IPv4 or IPv6 address. It targets use cases such as content localization, fraud prevention, VPN and proxy detection, and GDPR/CCPA compliance geofencing. Pricing starts at $10/month with a free tier of 1,500 requests per day for non-commercial use, and advanced features like VPN detection and commercial blocklists are gated to Business and Enterprise plans. SDKs are available in 11 languages, the API uses simple key-based REST calls, and customers include Disney, Adobe, Cisco, and NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab.

Best for / Avoid if

Best for: Prototypes and side projects - free to start, no sales call; AI agents and automation - an agent-ready surface (MCP / llms.txt); Teams needing broad API coverage out of the box

Avoid if: You have strict compliance requirements

Scores are computed deterministically from this profile's published, sourced fields (pricing, compliance, capabilities, docs and developer-surface signals) - not from reviews or paid placement. Each axis is 0-100; an unknown signal scores 0 for that axis. Procurement ease is the inverse of buying friction (higher = easier to adopt).
