API service

Turn an IP address into usable network context

IP Lookup returns geographic and network attributes for a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address in one structured response.

GET /services/iplookup

How it works

Understand the network behind an address

The endpoint enriches an IP address with hostname, ASN, network ownership, user and connection type, location, timezone, and anycast information. It does not make an allow or block decision for you.

IP location and network metadata represent the information available for the queried address. They should not be treated as a precise physical location for an individual person.

Integration examples
