Add geolocation to any project in one request — generous free tier, SDKs for ten languages, no infrastructure.
You just want to know where a user is without running your own geo stack. IP geolocation is one GET request — no database, no background jobs — with a free tier generous enough for most side projects, and an SDK for your language if you want one.
From the first call to shipping a real feature.
A single GET request returns country, city, currency, timezone, and more. Add geo to a side project without standing up a database or a background job.
GET /ip/{visitor}?apiKey=...
full geo + network data in one JSON response
The free tier covers 2,000 lookups a day — plenty for hobby apps, demos, and hackathons. Upgrade only when the project actually grows.

Call it as a plain GET from any language, or grab one of the official SDKs — TypeScript, Python, Go, Java, Kotlin, C#, PHP, Ruby, Rust, and Swift. Your choice, no lock-in either way.
curl · Python urllib · or pip install the SDK
same endpoint, three lines each → works everywhere
Greet users in their language, default the right currency, or tag analytics by country — the same capabilities big products use, without the overhead.
Visitor → 203.0.113.x
country: Australia → en-AU greeting, AUD default
Every one of these ships in the standard response — no add-ons, no tiers.
country / region / city Personalisation and per-user analytics currency Sensible default currency in your UI timezone Correct times without asking the user flag Instant country flags in your interface connection (ASN) Network insight for logging and debugging For most, yes. 2,000 lookups per day covers hobby apps, demos, portfolios, and hackathon builds comfortably, with no card required. You only move to a paid plan if the project grows beyond that, and plans start at $2.50/month.
Only if you want to. It's a plain HTTP GET endpoint, so you can call it with whatever your language already ships — urllib in Python, fetch in Node, curl from the shell. If you'd rather use an SDK, official ones are available for TypeScript, Python, Go, Java, Kotlin, C#, PHP, Ruby, Rust, and Swift.
A couple of minutes. Grab a free key, make one request, and parse the JSON. The docs and guides include copy-paste examples in several languages — and an SDK for your stack if you prefer — so you can drop it straight into your project.
Free tier: 2,000 lookups/day, no card. Paid plans from $2.50/month if your project outgrows it.
