Implementation notes
When to use ipapi.co
ipapi.co works when you need browser-side IP geolocation without an API key — it supports JSONP and direct cross-origin fetches with no auth header. Free tier: 1,000 requests/day, sufficient for analytics or content localization on a moderately-trafficked site.
Common pitfalls
- Free tier is 1,000/day per IP — the IP of your server or client, not your API key. Behind a CDN or load balancer that routes through few egress IPs, you'll hit the limit faster than expected.
- Returns latitude/longitude with approximately city-level precision. Don't use for any decision that requires building-level accuracy; for that you need a paid commercial IP geolocation product.
- The response includes ASN (autonomous system number) data only on the paid plans. The free plan returns network info as an organization name string, which is harder to deduplicate than ASN numbers.
