IP Geolocation API for Developers: Free JSON Lookup Guide

PINIP.net JSON API overview

PINIP.net offers a free JSON endpoint for developers who need geolocation, ISP, ASN, and security hints without scraping HTML. Full reference: API documentation.

Example request

curl -s "https://pinip.net/api?ip=8.8.8.8"

Replace the IP with any valid IPv4 or IPv6 address. Omit ip to resolve the caller's address.

Response fields (typical)

  • ip, country, city, latitude, longitude
  • isp, org, asn
  • proxy, hosting, mobile when available

JavaScript fetch example

const res = await fetch("https://pinip.net/api?ip=1.1.1.1");
const data = await res.json();
console.log(data.country, data.isp);

Production tips

  • Cache responses per IP for 1–24 hours.
  • Handle null coordinates gracefully.
  • Never rely on IP alone for authentication.
  • Combine with our VPN/proxy signals.
