Discover the Power of KeyCDN IP Location Finder
Unlock the potential of pinpoint geographical data with KeyCDN's IP Location Finder. This tool is not just another IP lookup service; it’s an incredibly detailed, highly accurate, and user-friendly approach to obtaining geographical information from an IP address. From basic country identification to intricate latitude and longitude specifications, it puts an expansive range of IP geolocation data right at your fingertips. By mapping IP addresses geographically, it paints a multilayered picture of user location, integrating insights about country, state, city, and even zip code and area code.
The Magic Behind the Scenes: How Does it Work?
So, how does this advanced tool achieve such precise results? Well, the process is as brilliant as it is straightforward. Thanks to ARIN's WHOIS service, the tool gathers contact and registration information for the IP address lookup. After a company acquires an IP address block, a request is filed, and the respective IPs are assigned to the desired ISP. To ensure accuracy, the IP geolocation data is updated automatically based on the databases of the regional Internet registry (RIR) - no manual updates required.
Accuracy and IPv6 Support: Key Features
At this point, you might be asking, "How accurate is this IP Geolocation?" The good news is that most vendors claim a whopping 98% or higher accuracy! And any inconsistencies - usually tied to the location of the nearest ISP provider's network hub - are minor and occasional at most. Plus, KeyCDN's IP Location Finder has another ace up its sleeve: it also supports IPv6 location lookups. Simply enter a valid address to perform the IPv6 lookup. This feature increases the tool's versatility and ensures it meets modern networking standards.
Seamlessly Integrate with Its REST API

Providing the IP geolocation data via a simple REST API, this tool facilitates seamless integration with your projects. The responses come in JSON, the favorite format of many developers. The service even helps prevent system overload by accommodating rate-limited requests.
