IP Geolocation API for Education & E-learning
Protect exams, localise portals, and license content by region — across institutions and the platforms that serve them.
Education runs across borders, campuses, and time zones. One IP lookup tells you where a learner is — enough to localise a portal, license content correctly, and add an integrity signal to exams and logins. Below is what education teams do with it.
Built for institutions and the EdTech platforms that serve them — from universities to study apps:

How does IP geolocation support online-exam integrity?
It adds a location and network layer to proctoring. Flagging VPN, Tor, or datacentre origins on an exam session, and catching impossible travel between logins, gives integrity systems a strong signal that a sitting may not be what it claims — to challenge, not to automatically fail. See the account-security and threat-detection pages for detail.
Can it localise a multi-campus or international institution?
Yes. One lookup returns country, region, and timezone, so portals can default to the right language, term dates, and support hours per campus or market, while letting users override. The localization use-case page shows worked examples.
Is it suitable for student data and privacy rules?
It infers coarse location from the network address without a permission prompt or device identifier, and the is_in_eu flag helps apply EU data-residency and minor-protection rules. Pair it with your institution's data-governance controls for full compliance.
