ip-api.com provides free IP geolocation with no key needed.

One API Call

http://ip-api.com/json/8.8.8.8?fields=country,city,isp,org,as,proxy,hosting

What You Get

Country, city, region, zip
ISP and organization
ASN (Autonomous System Number)
Latitude/longitude
Timezone and UTC offset
VPN/proxy detection – identifies if the IP is a proxy or hosting
Mobile detection – identifies mobile IPs

Rate Limit

45 requests/minute on the free tier. For batch processing, use the batch endpoint.

Use Cases

Security: detect VPN/proxy usage
Analytics: geolocate your visitors
Fraud detection: flag suspicious IPs
Content: serve region‑specific content

I built an IP Geolocation tool on Apify that also resolves domains to IPs — search knotless_cadence ip-geolocation.
