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-API — Bulk IP Geolocation & Network Intelligence — Apify Actor Geolocates **IP addresses and domains** using the [ip-api.com](https://ip-api.com/) service. Supports single lookups, high-speed batch queries (100 IPs per request), CIDR range expansion, and domain resolution. **No API key required** (45 requests/minute free tier). ### Features - **4 lookup modes** — IP list, own-IP detection, CIDR range expansion, domain resolution. - **Batch API** — sends up to 100 IPs per request for maximum throughput. - **25 data fields** — country, region, city, coordinates, timezone, ISP, org, ASN, proxy/VPN detection, mobile flag, hosting flag, reverse DNS, currency, continent. - **CIDR expansion** — enter `8.8.8.0/28` and get all 14 host IPs geolocated automatically. - **Computed enrichments** — full location string, Google Maps link, IP version, IP type classification, AS number extraction. - **4 output formats** — enriched, raw, minimal, coordinates-only. - **Smart rate limiting** — 1.5s delay between batch requests with auto-retry on 429. ### Lookup Modes | Mode | What it does | |---|---| | `ip_list` | Geolocate a list of IPs (comma/newline separated) | | `own_ip` | Detect and geolocate the actor's outbound IP | | `ip_range` | Expand a CIDR block and geolocate each host | | `domains` | Resolve domain names and geolocate their servers | ### Input Examples #### Bulk IP List ```json { "mode": "ip_list", "ipAddresses": "8.8.8.8\n1.1.1.1\n208.67.222.222\n9.9.9.9\n185.228.168.9\n76.76.19.19\n94.140.14.14\n77.88.8.8", "fields": ["query", "country", "countryCode", "city", "regionName", "lat", "lon", "timezone", "isp", "org", "as", "proxy", "hosting"], "enrichWithLabels": true, "outputFormat": "enriched" } ```` #### CIDR Range Scan ```json { "mode": "ip_range", "cidrRange": "8.8.8.0/28", "fields": ["query", "country", "city", "isp", "org", "as", "hosting"], "outputFormat": "enriched" } ``` #### Domain Lookup ```json { "mode": "domains", "domains": "google.com, github.com, cloudflare.com, facebook.com, amazon.com, microsoft.com, apple.com, openai.com", "fields": ["query", "country", "city", "isp", "org", "as", "hosting", "reverse"], "outputFormat": "enriched" } ``` #### Own IP Detection ```json { "mode": "own_ip", "enrichWithLabels": true } ``` ### Available Fields (25) | Field | Description | Example | |---|---|---| | `query` | IP address queried | `8.8.8.8` | | `status` | success or fail | `success` | | `country` | Country name | `United States` | | `countryCode` | ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 | `US` | | `region` | Region code | `VA` | | `regionName` | Region/state name | `Virginia` | | `city` | City name | `Ashburn` | | `district` | District | ` ` | | `zip` | ZIP / postal code | `20149` | | `lat` | Latitude | `39.0438` | | `lon` | Longitude | `-77.4874` | | `timezone` | IANA timezone | `America/New_York` | | `offset` | UTC offset (seconds) | `-14400` | | `currency` | Currency code | `USD` | | `isp` | ISP name | `Google LLC` | | `org` | Organization | `Google Public DNS` | | `as` | AS number + name | `AS15169 Google LLC` | | `asname` | AS name only | `GOOGLE` | | `mobile` | Mobile connection | `false` | | `proxy` | Proxy / VPN detected | `false` | | `hosting` | Hosting / datacenter | `true` | | `reverse` | Reverse DNS (PTR) | `dns.google` | | `continent` | Continent name | `North America` | | `continentCode` | Continent code | `NA` | ### Enriched Output (computed fields) | Field | Description | Example | |---|---|---| | `full_location` | City, Region, Country | `Ashburn, Virginia, United States` | | `google_maps_url` | Direct Maps link | `https://www.google.com/maps?q=39.0438,-77.4874` | | `ip_version` | IPv4, IPv6, or domain | `IPv4` | | `ip_type` | public, private, loopback, etc. | `public` | | `as_number` | Extracted AS number | `AS15169` | ### Output Formats - **Enriched** — all API fields + computed labels (default) - **Raw** — exact ip-api.com JSON response - **Minimal** — IP, country, city, region, ISP, status - **Coords Only** — IP, latitude, longitude, country code, city (for mapping) ### Throughput The actor uses ip-api's **batch endpoint** (100 IPs per request): | IPs | Batch Requests | Estimated Time | |---|---|---| | 100 | 1 | ~2 seconds | | 500 | 5 | ~10 seconds | | 1,000 | 10 | ~20 seconds | | 5,000 | 50 | ~90 seconds | ### Summary Statistics The run summary (key-value store → `summary`) includes: - Country breakdown (top 20) - ISP breakdown (top 10) - City breakdown (top 10) - Proxy/VPN count, hosting/datacenter count, mobile count - Success vs. failed counts # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): Choose how to provide IPs for geolocation. ## `ipAddresses` (type: `string`): IP addresses to geolocate, one per line or comma-separated.
