The development of ipapi.is was primarily motivated by the need to obtain essential IP data for IT
security
products. In the field of IT security, it is often necessary to identify the organization or entity
responsible for a particular IP address. Additionally, understanding the type of IP address, whether it
belongs to an ISP, mobile, datacenter, TOR, proxy, or VPN, is crucial for effective traffic filtering.
While there are numerous IP address API services available, ipapi.is does not assert itself to be
superior to others, and it is up to the user to evaluate its performance. However, given its origins in
IT security, ipapi.is is committed to maintaining a high level of accuracy in its services. This
dedication to precision ensures that users can rely on ipapi.is for dependable and trustworthy IP
address data.
