Geocoding — entry 039 of 80
IP Geolocation
AbstractAPI's IP Geolocation API is a JSON-only REST endpoint that always requires an API key — there is no keyless tier. The free plan is capped at 1,000 requests/month for non-commercial, country-level lookups only; the cheapest paid tier (Starter, $17/month) unlocks full city-level data and 60,000 requests/year.
