FindIP

Why is the service free?

We believe the web should be open and accessible. Our mission is to provide the best real-time geolocation API so that any developer can confidently build great products without worrying about usage costs.

How do I get an API key?

After you log in to your FindIP account, you will be taken directly to your dashboard where your API key is displayed — ready to copy and use immediately.

Are there any request-per-day limits?

No — there are no daily, monthly, or lifetime request limits. Use the API as much as you need, completely free.

How do I detect proxy, VPN and Tor IP addresses?

Every lookup returns anonymity signals for the IP, including proxy detection (HTTP, SOCKS4, SOCKS5 and residential proxies), VPN detection, and Tor exit-node and relay detection. Each flag is a simple boolean in the JSON response, alongside a confidence score, so you can block or challenge anonymous traffic with a single API call.

What is IP reputation and risk scoring?

FindIP aggregates threat feeds to flag malicious IP addresses and return an IP reputation signal with a confidence score. Threat types include brute force, botnet, malware C2, phishing, DDoS sources and credential stuffing, helping you score the risk of any IP before you trust it.
