Rate Limit & Quotas
You can use a certain number of requests per month, defined by your plan.
Once you go over this quota, the API returns a 429
HTTP status code, and you either need to upgrade your plan or wait until the end of the month. We enforce a minute rate limit for specific plans. If you exceed this, the API returns a 429 HTTP status code. You then have to wait until the end of the minute to make more requests. Not every request counts towards your monthly request volume.
Not every request counts
Only successful calls count against your quota. Any error on our side or validation errors (e.g., wrong parameter) will NOT count against your quota or rate limit.
Example request with basic auth
curl "https://api.ipbase.com/v2/info?ip=1.1.1.1&apikey=YOUR-APIKEY"
