How to get Geolocation from IP Address

I have been using ipapi for some time now and thought to share how easy it is to use their REST api. You can get a detailed geolocation data for any IP address with a single call.

It's a paid service with a generous free tier which will give you up to 30,000 requests a month. 30k a month is probably enough for tests and small projects.

Try it out

A simple IP location tool to get the detailed geo location data.

Examples

How to use it in a browser

let url = 'https://ipapi.co/' + ipAddress + '/json/';
fetch(url)
.then(data=>{return data.json()})
.then(res=>{console.log(JSON.stringify(res, undefined, 2))})

How to use it on a command line

curl https://ipapi.co/8.8.8.8/json/
