The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## IP Geolocation Lookup — Country, City, ISP, Proxy & VPN Detection Look up geographic location and network details for any IP address or domain name. Get country, city, ISP, ASN, timezone, coordinates, and detect proxies, VPNs, and hosting providers. Domains are automatically resolved to IP addresses via Google DNS. ### Features - **IP Geolocation** — country, city, region, zip code, and precise coordinates for any IP - **Domain Resolution** — automatically resolves domain names to IP addresses via Google DNS - **ISP & Network Data** — Internet Service Provider, organization, ASN number, and ASN name - **Proxy/VPN Detection** — identifies proxy servers, VPN connections, and hosting providers - **Timezone & Currency** — local timezone, UTC offset, and country currency - **Reverse DNS** — reverse DNS hostname lookup for each IP - **Rate-Limited** — built-in 45 req/min rate limiting with automatic pauses ### Output Example ```json { "ip": "8.8.8.8", "continent": "North America", "continentCode": "NA", "country": "United States", "countryCode": "US", "region": "Virginia", "regionCode": "VA", "city": "Ashburn", "zip": "20149", "latitude": 39.03, "longitude": -77.5, "timezone": "America/New_York", "utcOffset": -14400, "currency": "USD", "isp": "Google LLC", "organization": "Google Public DNS", "asn": "AS15169 Google LLC", "reverseDns": "dns.google", "isMobile": false, "isProxy": false, "isHosting": true, "scrapedAt": "2026-03-18T10:00:00.000Z" } ```` ### Use Cases - **Security Research** — identify suspicious IPs, detect VPNs and proxy servers - **Fraud Prevention** — verify user location against billing address or known fraud patterns - **Server Infrastructure Mapping** — discover hosting providers and network topology for any domain - **Geo-Targeting Validation** — verify that CDN and geo-routing deliver content to correct regions - **Compliance Auditing** — check IP locations for data residency and regulatory requirements - **Competitive Intelligence** — identify competitors' hosting providers and infrastructure ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |-----------|------|---------|-------------| | `ipAddresses` | array | `[]` | IP addresses to look up (e.g., "8.8.8.8", "1.1.1.1") | | `domains` | array | `[]` | Domains to resolve and geolocate (e.g., "google.com") | ### How It Works The scraper accepts IP addresses and domain names as input. Domains are first resolved to IP addresses using Google's public DNS API. Each IP is then queried against the ip-api.com geolocation service, which returns detailed location, network, and detection data. Built-in rate limiting (40 requests per minute with automatic pauses) ensures reliable operation. # Actor input Schema ## `ipAddresses` (type: `array`): IP addresses to look up (e.g., '8.8.8.8', '1.1.1.1') ## `domains` (type: `array`): Domain names to resolve and geolocate (e.g., 'google.com') ## Actor input object example ```json { "ipAddresses": [], "domains": [] } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("knotless_cadence/ip-geolocation-lookup").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
