Usage & License
The short version: use it however you like, don't abuse it, don't resell it.
Free to use
geo-ip is free for personal and commercial use. No API key, no account, no billing. Startups, enterprises, hobbyists - all welcome.
No attribution required
You don't need to credit geo-ip in your product or documentation. It's appreciated, but never required.
Fair use
There are no enforced rate limits, but please be reasonable. This is a self-funded project with no SLA. Sustained high-volume scraping or abuse may result in your IP being blocked without notice.
No reselling
You may not resell or repackage access to this API as a service. Building a product that consumes geo-ip data is fine. Building a product whose value is providing geo-ip as an API is not.
No warranty or SLA
geo-ip is provided as-is. There is no uptime guarantee, no support contract, and no SLA. Do not use it as the sole dependency of a critical system.
Data source
All geo-IP data is sourced directly from Cloudflare's request metadata (request.cf). Accuracy and availability depend on Cloudflare - geo-ip makes no independent claims about data correctness.
