Implementation notes
When to use IPinfo
IPinfo is the most complete free IP intelligence API. Without a token it allows 50,000 requests/month and returns country, region, city, ASN, and org. With a free token (registered, no credit card) you get the same data but with a higher reliability SLA. Use it when you need IP data over HTTPS for a browser-side or HTTPS-served application.
Common pitfalls
- The 50,000 calls/month unauthenticated limit is counted per IP address making the request, not per application. If your server handles traffic from many users, all of their IPinfo lookups count against your server IP's monthly quota. Register a free token to separate your quota from other users on shared hosting.
- The `privacy` object (VPN, proxy, Tor detection) is a paid feature only. The free API returns `null` for `privacy` fields. Code that checks `response.privacy.vpn` will error on the free tier unless you guard against null.
- The ASN data field is returned as `org` in the format `AS15169 Google LLC`. Parsing the AS number out requires splitting on the first space — the format is consistent but not structured as separate fields on the free tier.
- IPinfo's free tier does not include the `domains` field (lists of domains hosted on the IP) or the `abuse` contact information. These fields appear as `null` in responses for free-tier tokens.
