IP Data Types

When you make a request to IPinfo using a token, the API returns all the data the token has access to for the target IP address.

Please note that:

Geolocation Data

IPinfo's IP geolocation data is available through multiple API services, from free to enterprise. Each tier offers varying levels of granularity from country and continent up to city, postal code, coordinates, and accuracy metadata.

Privacy Detection Data

IPinfo's privacy detection data identifies whether an IP address is associated with anonymization services such as VPNs, proxies, Tor, or relays. It is available across Core, Plus, and as a Custom API, with each tier offering increasing levels of detail.

ASN Data

IPinfo's ASN data provides information about the Autonomous System associated with an IP address, including the ASN number, organization name, domain, and type. It is available across Lite, Core, Plus, and as a Custom API, with each tier offering additional fields such as route/prefix information and record change history.

Carrier Data

IPinfo's carrier data identifies the mobile network associated with an IP address, including the carrier name and its Mobile Country Code (MCC) and Mobile Network Code (MNC). It is available across Core, Plus, and as a Custom API, where Core returns a basic mobile flag and the higher tiers return the full carrier details.
