| Starting point | Access method | Check before use | Billing basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| You want to evaluate location and ASN fields | Start with the free IP Geolocation allowance and its API-specific key. | Check the response used by your account against the fields your application needs; the published schemas differ. | The documented free allowance is 1,000 requests per month at 1 request per second.[1][3][2] |
| You need company information alongside location | Evaluate the Standard tier described in the product examples. | Confirm the actual response contract and commercial terms before committing; v1 field paths are not interchangeable with the newer examples. | Obtain the applicable paid quote; this comparison does not resolve the conflicting paid volumes and rate limits.[2][3][4] |
| You need separate VPN, proxy and Tor signals | Evaluate Professional's documented product example. | Confirm separate flag availability and schema. The linked v1 reference only defines a combined VPN/proxy field. | Paid usage is metered separately for this API and can incur overages or an automatic upgrade under the terms.[2][1][3][4] |
documented capabilities
HTTP API- Delivery
- The technical reference documents a key-authenticated HTTP API with JSON output. Its v1 schema differs from the current product-tier examples.[1][2]
- Location data
- Country, region, city, postal code, coordinates and timezone appear in the reference and product examples. Their nesting and field names differ between those sources.[1][2]
- ASN and network
- Current Starter examples include ASN fields; Standard adds company information. The v1 reference separately documents ASN, ISP, organization and connection type.[1][2]
- Privacy signals
- Current Professional examples show separate VPN, proxy, Tor, hosting and relay flags. The v1 reference defines security.is_vpn as VPN or proxy combined; confirm the schema supplied by the chosen plan.[1][2]
- Access and free use
- An IP Geolocation API key is required. Pricing documents 1,000 free monthly requests at 1 request per second, with no card. Free commercial-use permission is not explicit in the reviewed terms.[1][3][4]
- Billing unit
- Each API is billed separately by request subscription, with overage and possible automatic-upgrade terms. Public pages disagree on paid quotas and rate limits, so reconcile the applicable paid quote before purchase.[3][2][4]
- IP versions
- The v1 technical reference accepts both IPv4 and IPv6 in ip_address; omitting the parameter uses the caller's address.[1]
Billing: Each Abstract API has its own request subscription. Free IP Geolocation documents 1,000 monthly requests at 1 request per second. Current paid quotas, rate limits and prices are not quoted here because the public pages disagree.

getting started
documentation reviewed- Obtain a key for IP Geolocation; keys for other Abstract APIs are separate.
- Confirm the plan and response version before implementing field paths. The v1 reference documents api_key and an optional ip_address parameter.
- Keep unavailable location/network values distinct from negative detection results.
- Before paid use, reconcile the subscription quote, field contract, request allowance, per-second limit and overage behavior.
Requirements & limitations
- Current product cards and the pricing FAQ disagree on paid quotas, per-second limits and effective prices. Exact paid figures are deliberately unlisted pending reconciliation.
- The linked v1 reference and current tier examples use different response shapes. This record does not promise a single schema across them.
- The Enterprise card mentions a commercial license, but that does not establish that other tiers prohibit business use; free commercial permission remains unclear from the reviewed sources.
- Terms allow paid overages and automatic upgrades under stated volume or repeated rate-limit conditions. IP location and security labels are estimates/classifications, not proof about a person.
