What it does

Returns an approximate location for an IP address

Accepts an IP address and returns its estimated country, region, city, and coordinates, along with timezone and ISP information. Accuracy varies with location and IP type, so the signal is best suited to coarse-grained context like defaulting a search region or flagging unusual access geography.

When you’d reach for it

  • Defaulting a visitor's region the first time they open the app.
  • Flagging a login attempt from an unexpected geographic location.
  • Pre-selecting a country or currency based on visitor location.
