IPGP Geolocation API

July 19th, 2012

3 years ago we launched our IP Address Geolocation API. During this time we provided more than 10 billion results. We have constantly upgraded the service to provide better and more accurate details.

Today, using our API you can programatically get the following details about any IP Address:

  • Country
  • State
  • City
  • Internet Service Provider
  • Organization
  • Latitude
  • Longitude
  • Link to country flag

 

Our API is very easy to use. The information is provided in XML format. The URL for accessing the API is: http://www.ipgp.net/api/xml/IP_ADDRESS/API_KEY .

 

Here is an example of how results are returned:

<IpLookup>
<Ip>123.123.123.123</Ip>
<Code>CN</Code>
<Country>China</Country>
<Flag>http://www.ipgp.net/flags/cn.png</Flag>
<City>Beijing</City>
<Region>Beijing</Region>
<Isp>China Unicom Beijing Province Network</Isp>
<Organization>China Unicom Beijing province network</Organization>
<Lat>39.9289</Lat>
<Lng>116.3883</Lng>
</IpLookup>

If you want to try IP Address Geolocation API, request your API key.

Happy Birthday Ipgp.

Exactly 4 years ago, on 7 July 2006 Ipgp.net was created. I am very proud to see that it is still popular, and the signs that it is a grown-up website are so obvious.

When it started there was only an ip lookup form. The loading time was about 30 seconds/query due to a heavy database and the results were inaccurate.

Now, the website responds very fast, accurate results, map included. Now we have this blog too, an API for developers, simple widgets.

I will drink a beer for Ipgp and i hope it will see significant improvements year by year.

Ipgp API usage

March 25th, 2010

3D render of hard hat and tools

In October last year i’ve implemented Ipgp Application Programming Interface ( API ). Website owners can use data provided by Ipgp to extract information about IP addresses, or to show the flag to their visitors.

I was reticent about the impact that the API will have and i thought no one will use it, but after the settling time i am surprised of it’s usage. Read the rest of this entry »

20% of Ipgp.net voters have more than 100 websites

February 25th, 2010

This month i ran a poll on my website asking the visitors how many websites do they own. The variants of answers were 1,2,3-5,5-10,10-100, more than 100.

The most part of the results are basically expected, some people focus on only one website, others have several websites that they work in parallel, but having more than 100 websites is kind of sadness.

I have a question for my fellow voters who own more than 100 websites: How can you handle it ? Well, i don’t want to guess that they are only made for spam reasons, or the domains are just brought so others can’t get them. Read the rest of this entry »
