Integration Documentation
Why use ipbase.com?
Global coverage
We rebuild our IP data regularly from several sources, for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Fast at any scale
Our infrastructure serves requests with industry-leading uptime. Location, network and security data are read from a local copy of the IP data, not from a third-party API. See the live uptime on our status page.
Quick to integrate
A plain REST API with thorough documentation, so integration takes minutes, not days.
Free IP tools
Look up an address, see your own IP and provider, or work out subnets and CIDR blocks in your browser. No sign-up needed. The lookups show VPN, proxy and Tor flags, ASN data and hosted domains too.
