Description
One GET request returns the full picture of any IPv4 or IPv6 address: country, city, ASN, timezone, currency, and VPN/proxy/Tor signals in a single JSON response. A fields parameter returns only what you need. Free tier works without a key - try any lookup straight from your browser. Paid tiers add threat detection and bulk lookups.

Could you build this?
No Accurate IP geolocation and proxy/VPN detection requires massive, continuously maintained proprietary datasets, BGP routing table feeds, and telemetry infrastructure that cannot be generated via code generation alone.
What it would actually take: Building an IP geolocation service requires acquiring commercial IP-to-location and ASN databases (or maintaining relationships with RIRs and BGP looking glasses) plus active probing infrastructure to detect VPN/Tor exit nodes. The backend itself is a high-throughput read-heavy key-value store (e.g., Redis, RocksDB) behind an API gateway (Go/Rust/Node.js) deployed globally across edge nodes (Cloudflare Workers or AWS CloudFront). Real accuracy requires specialized data engineering pipelines and relationships with ISPs rather than standard web engineering.
