IP Geolocation API for Media, News & Entertainment
License content by territory, monetise by region, and keep geo-spoofers out — from a single lookup.
Content rights are sold by territory, and monetisation is regional. One IP lookup tells you the country and region a request comes from — and whether it's hiding behind a VPN — so you can license, blackout, monetise, and gate correctly. Below is what media teams do with it.
Built for publishers, streaming and OTT, gaming and iGaming, music, events, and creator platforms:

Can people bypass geo-licensing with a VPN?
Determined users can, but you can make it much harder. The response flags common VPN, proxy, and Tor exits and identifies datacentre networks — the traffic most spoofing runs through. Combine country with those signals to challenge or block the obvious cases. See the content-geo-gating and threat-detection pages.
How accurate is country detection for licensing?
Country-level accuracy is very high and reliable for licensing and region-lock decisions. Region and city can be null for some IPs, so build territory rules at the country level first and treat finer granularity as best-effort.
Does it help with age-gating and betting compliance?
Yes. Country and region establish the likely jurisdiction so you can trigger the right age-verification and licensing flow for betting, lotteries, and regulated content. Pair it with your identity checks — the compliance use-case page goes deeper.
