Database and API Features
WorldIP Free Geolocation Database
WorldIP Database helps determine exact geographic locations of Internet users based on their IP address. It supports all types of IP addresses and networks, including satellite networks. It is completely free for personal and business use, but we will be very glad, if you include a link back to WIPmania.com on your website.The database is available for immediate download in any of the following formats:
- SQL
- CIDR (used in nginx web server)
- Text-based format: parse it with your own scripts
The Internet is constantly changing. Networks and IP addresses are being assigned and re-assigned every day. We are trying to keep up with the changing environment, the WorldIP database is well-maintained and updated bi-monthly.
WorldIP database is more correct than Whois records and Whois-based databases, that show geographic locations of network owners, and not the geographic location of Internet-connected PC or appliance itself.
Along with the base, Wipmania provides an easy API for real-time geographic information.
WorldIP Geolocation Service and API
