🇧🇫IP address lookup for Burkina Faso

What a lookup returns for Burkina Faso

The country block is filled in from the address itself — you do not pass the country in. Region, city and network vary per address.

How accurate is geolocation in Burkina Faso?

Country-level accuracy is reliable — the address blocks allocated to networks operating in Burkina Faso are well documented by the regional registry. City-level accuracy is not a guarantee anywhere: an address is mapped to where its network announces it, which is often a provider hub rather than the user's suburb.

Every response carries an accuracyRadius in kilometres. Treat the coordinates as the centre of a circle that size, not as a pin. Mobile and corporate connections in Burkina Faso routinely resolve to a different city entirely, and anyone on a VPN will resolve wherever the exit node sits.

• Defaulting the country and calling code (+226) on sign-up forms so people are not scrolling a list of 200.
• Meeting content licensing or regulatory rules that differ by country.
• Flagging logins from an unexpected country during fraud review.
