API Documentation

GeoIP and ASN lookups over a simple HTTP API.

Use IPRout to retrieve geolocation, timezone, currency, calling code, ASN and network ownership data for the caller IP or for a specific IP address supplied in the path.

Lookup Caller IP

Call this endpoint with no path parameter to look up the IP address making the request. IPRout resolves the caller from trusted proxy headers such as X-Forwarded-For.

Add an IPv4 or IPv6 address to the path to look up that specific address. This does not use the caller IP.
