## Pricing

Pay per usage

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

## What's an Apify Actor?

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

Geolocate any IP address instantly. Returns country, region, city, latitude/longitude, ISP, timezone, currency, and proxy/VPN/hosting detection for each IP. Supports both IPv4 and IPv6. No API key needed.

Powered by the ip-api.com geolocation database — covering 99.5%+ of IPv4 addresses and a growing share of IPv6.

### What you get

For each IP address:

- **Location**: Continent, country, region, city, district, ZIP/postal code
- **Coordinates**: Latitude and longitude
- **Network**: ISP name, organization, ASN number, and ASN name
- **Timezone**: IANA timezone identifier and UTC offset
- **Currency**: Local currency code
- **Reverse DNS**: Hostname mapping from the IP
- **Flags**: Mobile network, proxy/VPN, and hosting/datacenter detection

### Use cases

- **Fraud detection**: Flag IPs from proxies, VPNs, or hosting providers during registration or checkout
- **Audience analytics**: Understand where your users are coming from without requiring account data
- **Access control**: Geo-restrict content or enforce regional compliance rules
- **Network intelligence**: Enrich server logs, ad impression data, or security events with location context
- **Lead enrichment**: Add location metadata to inbound form submissions or trial signups

### Input example

```json
{
    "ipAddresses": ["8.8.8.8", "1.1.1.1", "185.220.101.1"],
    "maxResults": 100
}
````

### Output example

```json
{
    "query": "8.8.8.8",
    "statusCode": "success",
    "continent": "North America",
    "continentCode": "NA",
    "country": "United States",
    "countryCode": "US",
    "region": "VA",
    "regionName": "Virginia",
    "city": "Ashburn",
    "zip": "20149",
    "lat": 39.03,
    "lon": -77.5,
    "timezone": "America/New_York",
    "utcOffset": -18000,
    "currency": "USD",
    "isp": "Google LLC",
    "org": "Google Public DNS",
    "asNumber": "AS15169",
    "asName": "GOOGLE",
    "mobile": false,
    "proxy": false,
    "hosting": true
}
```

### Pricing

$0.50 per 1,000 results. No API key or external account needed.

### Rate limits

The free tier of ip-api.com allows 45 requests per minute. This actor automatically respects that limit. For sustained high-volume lookups, consider running multiple smaller batches.

### Supported formats

Accepts any valid IPv4 or IPv6 address. Private/reserved addresses (10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x, 127.x.x.x, etc.) will return a failed status since they are not routable on the public internet.

# Actor input Schema

## `ipAddresses` (type: `array`):

List of IP addresses to geolocate. Accepts IPv4 and IPv6. One IP per line or comma-separated.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of IP addresses to look up.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "ipAddresses": [
    "8.8.8.8",
    "1.1.1.1",
    "208.67.222.222",
    "9.9.9.9",
    "185.220.101.1"
  ],
  "maxResults": 100
}
```

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "ipAddresses": [
        "8.8.8.8",
        "1.1.1.1",
        "208.67.222.222",
        "9.9.9.9",
        "185.220.101.1"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("pink_comic/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);
});
