$ curl ipinfo.io/8.8.8.8

"ip": "8.8.8.8",
"hostname": "google-public-dns-a.google.com",
"city": "Mountain View",
"region": "California",

It also started as a simple geolocation API when I first launched it over 3 years ago. Since then we've built many custom data sets and expanded to more products, including IP to company details, carrier detection, reverse IP hosting data and more. See https://ipinfo.io/products https://ipinfo.io/products. We've been lucky enough to signup customers like Dell, Tesla, eBay, TripAdvisor, Plesk and others. Happy to chat and share notes at some point!
- jonathan-kosgei 9y agoThanks coderholic! :). I took a lot of inspiration from your service but built around solving a number of pain points. Would love to chat and talk sometime :)
