IP Geolocation
Geolocate any IP address — get country, city, coordinates, timezone, and ISP information.
About IP Geolocation
IP geolocation maps IP addresses to physical geographic locations using databases maintained by organisations like MaxMind, IP2Location, and ipapi. The data comes from Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) like ARIN, RIPE, and APNIC, combined with BGP routing data, user-reported locations, and other signals. Country-level geolocation is highly accurate; city-level is approximate and can be off by hundreds of kilometres.
FAQ
Can I use IP geolocation for content localisation?
Yes, with caveats. IP geolocation is reliable enough for showing localised content, setting default currency/language, and complying with regional content restrictions. However, always allow users to manually override their detected location, as VPN users, business networks, and mobile users may show incorrect locations.
