Frequently asked questions.
What does The IP API do? +
The IP API provides accurate geolocation data based on IP addresses, helping businesses enhance personalization, security, and analytics.
How do I start using The IP API? +
Sign up at theipapi.com, get your API key, and start making requests. See the getting started article for more info.
What information can I get from the API? +
The API returns details like country, city, latitude, longitude, information on the ASN, and the company that owns the IP address.
Is there a free plan? +
Yes. The IP API offers a free plan with 1,000 requests per day, no card required.
How do I rotate my API key? +
If your API key is leaked or you want to rotate it periodically, sign in and go to Account Settings. Click Rotate API Key and confirm - a new key is generated immediately and the old one stops working right away. Your plan, usage quota, and billing are unaffected, and your historical usage stats remain visible on the dashboard. Update any clients that use the old key before rotating.
