How accurate is IP geolocation?
Country-level detection is highly accurate for most IPs. City-level accuracy varies by connection type—broadband IPs are more accurate than mobile IPs.
What geocoding formats do you support?
We accept addresses in any format and return standardized results with coordinates, formatted address, and place IDs.
Can I get timezone info for any coordinate?
Yes! Our timezone API works with coordinates, city names, or IP addresses. We return the timezone, current offset, and DST info.
Do you provide maps or just data?
We provide location data and coordinates. You can use this data with any mapping library like Google Maps, Mapbox, or Leaflet.
Can I test IP geolocation for free?
Yes—try our [free IP lookup tool](/tools) or use the free tier for development. See [pricing](/pricing) when you're ready to scale.
How often is the IP database updated?
Our IP geolocation database is updated weekly with the latest IP assignments from regional internet registries and ISPs to maintain high accuracy.
What throughput does the IP API support?
From basic use to enterprise scale. Higher plans unlock faster rate limits for real-time fraud detection or high-traffic geo-personalization.
Is VPN detection available?
Yes! Our separate VPN Detector API (included in your subscription) identifies VPN, proxy, Tor, and data center IPs. Use it alongside IP Lookup for fraud prevention.
Do you support IPv6 addresses?
Yes! Our IP lookup API supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. IPv6 coverage continues to improve as adoption increases globally.
What location precision can I expect?
Country-level accuracy is extremely high (99%+). City-level accuracy varies by region and IP type—broadband IPs are generally more accurate than mobile IPs.
