Frequently asked questions
- What is an IP address?
- An IP address is the number your device or network uses to be reachable on the internet. Your public IP is assigned by your internet provider and is visible to every website you visit — it's how servers know where to send responses.
- How accurate is IP geolocation?
- IP geolocation is city-level at best, not an exact address. Country accuracy is typically above 99%, city accuracy varies from a few kilometres in dense urban areas to hundreds of kilometres elsewhere. Every lookup here returns an accuracyRadius in kilometres so you know how precise the coordinates really are.
- Why does my IP address show the wrong city?
- Geolocation maps the address your provider announces, which is often a regional hub rather than your suburb. VPNs, mobile networks, and corporate connections commonly resolve to a different city or country entirely. That is expected behaviour, not an error.
- Is the IP geolocation API free?
- Yes. You can call the API 45 times a minute with no API key and no account. Signing up for a free key raises that to 10,000 lookups a month, and paid plans start at $5/month for 150,000 requests — with two months free on annual billing.
- How do I look up an IP address with the API?
- Send a GET request to https://api.ipaddresstoday.com/api/v1/8.8.8.8 for any address, or /api/v1/ip to get the caller's own IP. The response is JSON containing location, connection, privacy, and timezone details.
- What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
- IPv4 addresses look like 8.8.8.8 and are limited to about 4.3 billion addresses. IPv6 addresses look like 2001:4860:4860::8888 and exist because IPv4 ran out. This API supports both formats identically.
- How often is the geolocation data updated?
- The GeoLite2 databases are checked for updates every 24 hours and swapped in without downtime. Every API response includes meta.databaseVersion so you can see exactly which build answered your request.
