+ fast and simple URL API
+ updated daily
+ has information on over 4,287,275,793 IPv4s
» please read Inputs and Outputs sections for instructions
Your IP is 18.97.9.175 and it's listed as United States of America (the) in today's dataset.
This service is FREE (LGPL) because we strongly support technology sharing. FREE does not imply low quality.
Our uptime has been 99.95% since the beginning of 2009, courtesy of ultra-simple design.
Amount of requests per user / per day is unlimited, just be reasonable.
Currently we can sustain a maximum of about 80 million per day.

home.pl update:
Over the last two weeks we inquired 9 times about proof of alleged server overload (2 phone calls, 7 emails).
They failed to produce even a single fact, of course.
Instead they suggested 5 times that we should buy a more expensive hosting plan.
Oct 30, 1 p.m. ~ 12 a.m. UTC outage
Flush your DNS tables and restart your apps - we had to change server IP!
Our hosting provider home.pl blocked without warning our entire server in order to extort more money.
They stated that ip2c.org generates too much load and destabilizes their infrastructure.
Note that home.pl is the biggest and the most advanced hosting provider in the country,
whereas one IP lookup takes 3 io (ram cached), lasts about 1.0ms, and prints between 13-46 bytes + http.
Too much load my ass.
They hadn't actually noticed the last 200,000,000 'destabilizing' requests for months
until we contacted their support on Oct 28 and politely asked about their cpu load limits etc.
At that moment, suddenly, a catastrophe of melting datacenters revealed itself,
and they were forced to take swift action... against a free public service.
Their proposed solution was 'buy a more expensive hosting plan'.
Fuck you home.pl, you are officially relieved of this gruelling duty.
Everything is back online 12 hours later, now featuring hardcore thunderous 2-core 1gb ubuntu box
- owned by us, no 3rd party involved, no conflict of interest.

We have seen around the Net people assume this service simply forwards requests to Software77 servers.
In reality, since day 1, this service resolves requests locally, and calls Software77 once a day for updated data.
In 5.5 years we have accessed Software77 servers about 2k times, while producing 74m+ answers on our own.
We are actually relieving their servers of load.

Core is redesigned and rebuilt from scratch.
Databases are no longer in use, seems they were too bulky to operate.
New solution features RAM-based indexed binary search.
Update process has been reduced from over 60 minutes to under 10 seconds.
This makes GeoLoc accurate within 2 hours after new data is published by Webnet77.com,
instead of 17 hours as it was until yesterday.
Jan 7
Starting 1 a.m. UTC something is really wrong.
Out of 96 database update threads 34 crash during 31 hours' period.
It means extreme overload generated by those other websites.
Results in presumably over 30% incorrect answers by GeoLoc.

Nov 22 ~ Dec 20
Server shows some strain from time to time. Not related to amount of requests, however.
There are 80-90 other websites hosted virtually on the same machine as this service,
they probably start getting more and more visitors - which results in shared overload.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Sep 13
Added load distribution (4 parallel databases)
If flooding takes place again, we will add automated blacklisting.
This is public service after all.

Server overwhelmed by some mad script from 62.210.107.40 (France)
150,000 requests/day from a single IP is a bit too many.
Anyone responsible for this - please revise your loops.
Everyone - consider caching retrieved results for at least one day.
'Cookie' your clients wherever possible, IP data changes slowly enough to be updated just once a day.
If you feel like killing your server with thousands of IPs per second,

You can use http or https.
https://ip2c.org/XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
or
https://ip2c.org/?ip=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
|
+ standard IPv4 from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255
+ e.g. we take your IP:
|
+ URL looks like this: https://ip2c.org/18.97.9.175
| or
| https://ip2c.org/?ip=18.97.9.175
|
+ resulting string is: 1;US;USA;United States of America (the)
https://ip2c.org/XXXXXXXXXX
or
https://ip2c.org/?dec=XXXXXXXXXX
|
+ decimal number from 0 to 4294967295 (MAX_INT)
+ faster than ?ip= option, less server-side processing
+ to convert IPv4 to decimal you only need to know this:
|
+ (IPv4) A.B.C.D == A*256^3 + B*256^2 + C*256 + D (decimal)
+ e.g. 5.6.7.8 == 5*256^3 + 6*256^2 + 7*256 + 8
== 5*16777216 + 6*65536 + 7*256 + 8

== 84281096
https://ip2c.org/s
or
https://ip2c.org/self
or
https://ip2c.org/?self
|
+ processes caller's IP
+ faster than ?dec= option but limited to one purpose - give info about yourself
Caution
Some clients (e.g. ASP) may have issues while trying to open a file over HTTP.
In that case a slash / preceding ?ip= is obligatory.
==== Possible outputs: ============================================================================================================
You can use http or https.
0;;;WRONG INPUT
|
+ your request has not been processed due to invalid syntax
|
+ e.g. bad IPv4 like 300.400.abc.256
+ e.g. bad decimal like 2a3b4c or bigger than MAX_INT
1;CD;COD;COUNTRY
|
+ contains two-letter (ISO 3166) and three-letter country codes, and a full country name
+ country name may be multi-word and contain spaces
+ e.g. we take your IP:
|
+ URL looks like this: https://ip2c.org/18.97.9.175
| or
| https://ip2c.org/?ip=18.97.9.175
|
+ resulting string is: 1;US;USA;United States of America (the)
2;;;UNKNOWN (deprecated)
|
+ given ip/dec not found in database or not yet physically assigned to any country
+ unlikely to get this response now, as data is cleaned up and there should be no gaps
Output is always semicolon delimited text/plain - you can pass it to any type of application.
The first digit indicates status so you don't have to always parse the whole string.
+ Actually, the first digit is kept mainly for backward compatibility and historical reasons.
It is recommended to understand the differences between some special codes which can occur after the 1; result.
Please see the list of possible country codes.

Continents don't have official codes apparently. These custom codes below will occur whenever an IP can't be precisely linked
to a country but is known to be generally linked to a continent. Note the distinctions for XEU, XAU, XAN.
XA XAS Asia
XE XEU Europe
|
+ standard code EU exists in ISO but it pertains to the European Union (political/economic alliance)
+ EU's geographical delineation is different from the continent of Europe represented by XEU
+ EU will never occur in the output, while XE might
+ EU/XE are not interchangeable
+ if you're looking to detect countries with GDPR restrictions, you should not assume XE solves this!
+ it's more complicated, look e.g. here Practical overview at GDPR Advisor
XF XAF Africa
XN XNA North America
XS XSA South America
XT XAN Antarctica and Southern Ocean
|
+ standard code AQ is the territory of only the landmass Antarctica
+ XAN includes additional islands located south of ~60°S latitude
+ AQ/XT and ATA/XAN are not interchangeable
XU XAU Australia and Oceania
|
+ standard code AU is the territory of only the Commonwealth of Australia
+ which is a sub-area of the continent of Australia, which in turn is a sub-area of the region of Oceania
+ XAU represents the combined area of Australian continent and Oceanic islands
+ AU/XU and AUS/XAU are not interchangeable
Non-geographical i.e. any remaining IPs
XW XWW Multicast Address
|
+ IP ranges assigned for use in IP multicasting (read more )
+ 6.25% of all IPs
XX XXX Unknown
|
+ no specific information could be gathered about given IP during recent web scraping
+ 0.18% of all IPs
XY XYY Obfuscated
|
+ real geo can't be determined by design / intentionally
+ e.g. it's an anonymizing proxy or a satellite modem, etc
XZ XZZ IANA Special-Purpose Address
|
+ IP ranges reserved for technological reasons in the protocol standard (read more )
+ 7.55% of all IPs
ZZ ZZZ Reserved
|
+ small subnets reserved by special circumstances other than XZ
+ currently ~1500 such "islands" exist globally
+ 0.1% of all IPs

GDPR information at Wikipedia
Practical overview at GDPR Advisor
ip2c.org collects these data per each API request:
|
+ date and time of the request
+ IPv4 address of the client machine which initiated the request
+ IPv4 address which was given as a parameter in the request's query
If you think about it, this is the same information as has been always collected
in any standard HTTP server logs around the world, or less: time, remote IP, path/query of GET request.
These data are collected for internal purposes:
|
+ aggregate statistics, as shown in Stats and User of the Month
+ service quality assurance (load analysis, response accuracy analysis)
+ detection of abuse
These data are not collected when visiting human-oriented content, such as the website you are reading now.
These data are collected only for requests made with the correct input format, and if the output response starts with 1 or 2.
By design, users are prevented from accidentally opening any URLs which may result in data collection.
Using ip2c.org service (opening a connection to any of the URLs at *.ip2c.org or geoloc.daiguo.com domains which may
cause data collection) constitutes user's consent to collection, storage and processing of the data listed above.
If your website makes a call to ip2c.org over XHR/Ajax, your visitor's IP address will end up being collected
by our internal logs - when XHR/Ajax is used, your visitor's device is the client machine which initiated the request.
If your visitor doesn't want to connect to ip2c.org without consent or warning,
this becomes your responsibility as a developer/administrator/owner of your website.
ip2c.org does not set tracking cookies nor session cookies.
The only cookie(s) set by about.ip2c.org are used for caching the visitior's IP-to-country resolution,
which is visible only to the same visitor in sections: What is ip2c.org, Inputs, Outputs
The same cookie(s) are used for eliminating duplicate hits in page statistics
shown in the bottom right corner of: this page, Thank You List, User of the Month
All other cookies are set by one of these: Google Analytics, PayPal, Facebook, Twitter.
Having a name listed in the Thank You List requires an explicit written consent.
All individuals whose data are present in the Thank You List have submitted their consent
by direct email or by PayPal Payment Note prior to May 25th, 2018
