How accurate is the city-level data?

Our geolocation engine leverages standard RFC 8805 Geofeeds and enriched RIR datasets to provide reliable city and state-level mapping, which is ideal for broad localization, language targeting, and analytics.

Do you support IPv6 addresses?

Yes, our database fully supports deep geolocation and metadata enrichment for the entire IPv6 address space, just as it does for IPv4.

How is the data sourced and kept up to date?

We aggregate data from multiple regional internet registries (RIRs), ISP peering agreements, and live BGP routing tables. This multi-source approach ensures our geographic database adapts quickly to network changes.

Can I use this for precise user tracking?

No. IP Geolocation provides regional accuracy (city, state, country) which is perfect for localization and broad fraud detection, but it cannot pinpoint a specific street address or building.

How fast is the lookup API?

Because our databases are loaded directly into memory at the edge, geocoding lookups typically return in single-digit milliseconds, well within the threshold for inline blocking or content rewriting.

What happens when I exceed my quota?

Every API response includes a meta object with your total_credits and credits_remaining. If you exceed your limit, the API returns a HTTP 429 Too Many Requests status.

Country & City-Level Precision

Identify the origin of incoming requests. The API uses standard RFC 8805 Geofeeds and RIR data to map IP addresses to city-level locations, providing reliable geographic context for both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.

Country & Region Matching
Instantly retrieve standard ISO country codes and full region names to enforce geo-blocking or content licensing rules.
City-Level Granularity
Target local markets and personalize content by mapping users to their specific city.
IPv6 Support
Fully supports deep geolocation and metadata enrichment for the entire modern IPv6 address space.

Timezone, Currency & Language

Stop asking users where they are. Provide a seamless, localized experience on their very first visit by automatically configuring their environment based on their network location.

Automatic Timezones
Get the exact IANA timezone string (e.g., America/Los_Angeles) to display dates and times correctly.
Native Language Hints
Retrieve standard ISO 639 language codes to instantly serve your application in the user's preferred language.
Currency Prediction
Map countries to their local currency symbols for accurate pricing and checkout flows.
