IP2Location

IP2Location provides IP geolocation and proxy detection intelligence through databases, APIs, and web services. The company offers two primary product lines: IP2Location for geographical location data and IP2Proxy for threat intelligence and proxy detection. Their IP geolocation databases contain metadata including country, region, city, coordinates, ISP, domain, ASN, time zone, and usage type information for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. The IP2Proxy solution detects anonymous proxies, VPNs, TOR nodes, search engine bots, residential proxies, and data center IPs, providing fraud scores and threat intelligence to help organizations prevent online fraud and manage access control. The company offers 26 specialized database packages with daily updates, delivering network metadata through multiple integration methods including downloadable databases, REST APIs, and SDKs for over 20 programming languages including Java, .NET, PHP, Ruby, Python, and Perl.

The company has processed over 30 billion API calls and maintains partnerships with over 3,000 ISPs. Their solutions enable businesses to analyze global traffic patterns, localize content based on visitor geography, detect fraudulent activity, and implement security controls through server-side IP metadata analysis without requiring client-side intrusion.
