What is iplyt?

iplyt is an IP geolocation service that turns IP addresses into structured location, network, and organization data. The platform exposes a REST API for single, batch, and bulk lookups.

What you get

Each successful lookup can include:

  • Location — city, region, country, coordinates, timezone
  • ASN — autonomous system number, name, and domain
  • Network — hosting signals and address counts
  • Organization — company name, website, and contact details
  • Geo reference — extended city, state, and country records when available

Common use cases

  • Fraud and abuse prevention — detect VPN, hosting, or unexpected geographies
  • Content localization — choose language, currency, or regional content from visitor IP
  • Compliance and logging — record country or region for audit trails
  • Analytics — enrich traffic logs with geography without client-side tracking
  • Access control — allow or block requests by country or network type

How iplyt is structured

Layer Who uses it
iplyt platform API Your applications — authenticated with API keys from the dashboard
Dashboard Your team — usage, billing, keys, and support
Internal lookup service iplyt infrastructure only — powers the live demo on the marketing site; not exposed to customers

Customer integrations always go through the platform API with an API key. The internal lookup engine runs server-side and is not a public endpoint.
