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.
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.
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); What Can You Build?
