Overview

IPinfo is a free, no-auth-required IP geolocation and network intelligence API that returns rich data about any IP address including location, organization, ASN, and timezone. The free tier supports up to 50,000 requests per month without an API token, making it one of the best options for getting started with IP lookups. It is widely used in fraud detection, analytics, and content personalization.

💡

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Rate limit exceeded (429) More than 50,000 requests made per month without an API token
✓ Sign up for a free account at ipinfo.io to get a token with higher limits, then add ?token=YOUR_TOKEN to requests
bogon field is true with unexpected location data The IP address is a reserved or private IP (bogon)
✓ Private IPs (10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x, etc.) return bogon:true with no geolocation; test with a real public IP
org field not present Organization data may not be available for all IP ranges
✓ This is normal for some IP blocks; check the asn field instead or sign up for a plan with ASN data
