About
Free IP API is an IP geolocation API that returns location and network data for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses through JSON and XML endpoints. The service accepts GET and POST requests, and if no IP is supplied it uses the sender's IP address.
The free offering includes a 60 requests per minute limit and supports IP geolocation, country data, phone codes, timezones, distance calculations, proxy detection, bulk IP lookup up to 50 IPs per request, and language data. The pricing page states that the free plan is available with no account required and that paid subscriptions raise the request limit above 60 requests per minute.
- 60 requests per minute
- IPv4 and IPv6 lookup support
- Bulk IP lookup up to 50 IPs
- JSON and XML response formats
- Proxy, ASN, and timezone data
- Commercial use allowed
Free Tier Value
This free tier is a genuinely usable monthly allowance rather than a short trial: it includes the core API features, commercial use, and support, but caps usage at 60 requests per minute and keeps servers in Europe only. The cheapest paid option is about $8.25/month on the yearly plan (or €9.90/month monthly), so the free tier is worth roughly $3/month — a solid starter tier with meaningful limits, and no credit card is required.
