Overview

keycdn IP Location Finder is a lightweight REST API that returns geolocation details for any IP address in JSON format. It is designed for simplicity and speed, returning key fields like country, city, and coordinates with a single request. A free tier is available, making it easy to integrate into small projects.

Beginner Tip

Append your IP address as the host query parameter to the endpoint. Use ?host=8.8.8.8 for testing and you will see a full JSON response without needing to parse complex nested objects.

Available Data

The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.

IP address details
latitude and longitude
city and country
timezone
ISP information
IP address information

Example Response

Illustrative shape only — we were not able to call this endpoint (it requires credentials or exposes no public sample URL), so the fields below show the kind of data this API returns rather than a recorded response.

Implementation Example

Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.

Request
const url = "https://tools.keycdn.com/geo.json?host=8.8.8.8";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
  headers: {
  "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
  }
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Generated guidance based on this API's documentation, not observed by us. Treat it as a starting point and check against the provider's own error reference.

401 Unauthorized The User-Agent header with keycdn-tools: prefix is missing.
Set the User-Agent header to keycdn-tools:YOUR_API_KEY (replace with your actual key).
Invalid host value The host parameter is a private IP or a malformed address.
Use a valid public IP address or domain name in the host parameter.
Unexpected Content-Type You called the HTML endpoint instead of the JSON endpoint.
Append .json to the URL: https://tools.keycdn.com/geo.json?host=...

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
