Rate Limiting

An API rate limit refers to the maximum number of API calls that can be made within a specific time period. IP2Location.io allows you to perform up to 500 queries per day without the need to sign up for an API key (keyless). Once this limit is reached, any additional API calls will fail until the time period resets at 00:00 UTC daily.

If you wish to remove the daily rate limit and perform more than 500 queries per day, you can get started by signing up for our to obtain an API key. It's free, and with this plan, you are able to make up to 30,000 queries per month.

Below is the command to perform the keyless query:

https://api.ip2location.io/?ip=8.8.8.8
