About
ipapi is an IP address lookup and geolocation API that returns location data for an IP address in JSON and other formats. It exposes fields such as city, region, country, postal code, latitude, longitude, timezone, calling code, currency, languages, ASN, and organization, and supports specific field lookups like /country/, /city/, /latitude/, /latlong/, and /org/.
The service is aimed at developers building websites, mobile apps, desktop apps, or network tools that need to resolve an IP address to geographic and network metadata. The pricing page shows a free trial plan with up to 1,000 IP lookups per day, approximately 30,000 per month, intended for testing and development rather than production use.

Free Tier Value
This free trial is capped at about 30,000 IP lookups a month, which lines up with the cheapest paid plan at $15/month for 60,000 lookups. Since it offers roughly half the starter quota plus testing-only restrictions and no production use, its practical value is about $15/month rather than anything close to the higher tiers.
