Look Up Any IP Address: Geolocation API Quick Start

The IP Geolocation API resolves an IPv4 or IPv6 address to geographic data in one HTTP call.

It is useful for localizing content, screening fraud signals, and enriching analytics. Lookups run against a bundled GeoLite2 database, so there are no per-call data fees.

Quick start

curl "https://ip-geolocation39.p.rapidapi.com/lookup?ip=8.8.8.8" \
  -H "X-RapidAPI-Key: YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "X-RapidAPI-Host: ip-geolocation39.p.rapidapi.com"

Response

accuracyRadiusKm tells you how precise the fix is. Country-level results are reliable; city-level precision varies by network. The timezone field lets you render local times for the visitor.

{
  "ip": "8.8.8.8",
  "found": true,

  "countryName": "United States",
  "region": "",
  "city": "",
  "latitude": 37.751,

  "timezone": "America/Chicago",
  "eu": false,
  "accuracyRadiusKm": 1000
}

Batch and distance

POST /batch geolocates up to 100 IPs per call. GET /distance?ip1=&ip2= returns the great-circle distance between two addresses.

Privacy note

Lookups are processed transiently. Request payloads are never stored.
