IPinfo Launches IPinfo Core: City-Level Precision and Privacy Clarity
SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IPinfo, the internet data company, today announced the launch of IPinfo Core, a new product that delivers enhanced IP context at an entry-level price. IPinfo Core combines city-level geolocation with five new privacy and connection-type signals, enabling users to make smarter, faster decisions about how much they can trust an IP's reported location. IPinfo Core includes flags — such as is_mobile (mobile carrier IP detection) and is_anonymous (VPN, proxy, Tor, or relay detection) — that provide greater visibility into how IP addresses behave and what they represent. This level of context was previously only available in IPinfo's enterprise plans. 'Geolocation is useful, but it's only part of the picture,' said Ben Dowling, CEO of IPinfo. 'An IP might show London, but if it's actually a VPN server, that location data becomes misleading for fraud prevention or compliance decisions. Our entry-level plan previously only included basic geolocation and ASN data. IPinfo Core provides a deeper level of context so users know how to make decisions considering IP geolocation data. This gives developers more IP context than ever.' With 16 enriched IP attributes, IPinfo Core transforms raw IPs into actionable data that power use cases including content localization, fraud/risk intelligence, network optimization, and regulatory compliance. Key Features of IPinfo Core: Precise, accurate city-level data backed by IPinfo's global Probe Network Privacy detection for VPNs, proxies, Tor nodes, and relays Connection-context flags to identify mobile, satellite, hosting, and anycast IPs ASN information about ownership, operation location, and type of network Three delivery options: API access, downloadable database, or Snowflake Marketplace IPinfo Core Use Cases Include: Fraud and account takeover defense: Detect risky activity by combining location mismatches with privacy and network-type signals Ad targeting and attribution: Use precise city and ASN data to refine audience segmentation and measure campaign effectiveness Geo-fencing and rights compliance: Enforce access rules based on location and privacy flags to comply with content licensing Learn More IPinfo Core is available starting at $49/month for 150,000 API requests, with flexible tiers up to 1 million requests on monthly or annual plans. Developers can sign up today to get started with the API at or start a 30-day free trial with $400 usage credit on Snowflake Marketplace. Full documentation is available to get started in minutes. IPinfo is the internet data company, providing the world's most accurate IP data that delivers highly contextual metadata on each IP address, from geolocation and mobile carrier to privacy detection and proxies. IPinfo is trusted by more than 500,000 users, from developers to Fortune 500 companies, who use IP data to make smarter decisions, mitigate security risks, ensure regulatory compliance, and drive better customer experiences. IPinfo's robust and secure API processes more than 1 billion requests daily, with data also available through direct download and leading cloud platforms, all backed by a team of data experts who are committed to precision.
