Geocoding — entry 040 of 80
IP2Location
IP2Location's Web Service is a credit-metered REST API returning geolocation data as JSON or XML, with the fields returned depending on which of its 25-plus packages (WS1–WS25) is requested. It offers a one-time 5,000-credit trial rather than a recurring monthly free tier, and paid access is sold as prepaid credit packs starting at $49 for 100,000 credits rather than a flat subscription.
