How it works?
FreeIPAPI is a free service for commercial and non-commercial uses. We're using free and opensource databases such as ip2location to provide this API. Since we're running servers to provide this service, To prevent heavy loads on our servers we applied a limit of 60 requests per minute to the users, However, if you need more, You can subscribe to one of our paid plans.
How to use
The API accepts GET and POST methods and you can pass ip field as body or query param. However, If you don't pass the ip field we'll use the sender's ip address to extract the information. Here you can find some sample codes to use it however, you can read our documentation
<?php
$ipAddress = "{IP-ADDRESS}";
$url = "https://freeipapi.com/api/json/$ipAddress";
$response = file_get_contents($url);
$data = json_decode($response, true);
print_r($data);
# Get the ip info
curl https://freeipapi.com/api/json/1.1.1.1
# Get only public ip address
curl https://freeipapi.com
import requests
ip_address = "{IP-ADDRESS}"
url = f"https://freeipapi.com/api/json/{ip_address}"
response = requests.get(url)
data = response.json()

Pricing
FreeIPAPI is still FREE with no account required! We're introducing subscriptions for users who want to increase the request limit to more than 60 requests per minute
