IP2Location.io provides a fast, accurate RESTful IP Geolocation API to retrieve detailed location, network, proxy, and fraud intelligence from IP addresses for developers and businesses.

---

🚀 Overview

IP2Location.io is a powerful IP geolocation API service from IP2Location, established in 2002, offering real-time lookup of IP addresses to geographical and network data. It returns JSON responses with info like country, region, city, latitude/longitude, ZIP code, timezone, ISP, ASN, domain, connection speed, proxy type, and fraud score (on higher plans).

What problem does this project solve? It solves the need for reliable, server-side IP intelligence to identify user locations, detect proxies/VPNs/TOR, prevent fraud, enable geo-personalization, and block unwanted traffic—without relying on easily spoofed client-side data.

Who is it built for? Developers building apps needing geolocation, e-commerce merchants for fraud prevention, marketers for targeted ads, and cybersecurity teams for threat detection.

Why did you build it? IP2Location built it to deliver high-accuracy, daily-updated IP databases via API, trusted by 20,000+ developers, 24% of Fortune 500, with 30B+ API calls processed.
