How the IP Geolocation API Works

Call the Endpoint

Send a GET request to /api/ip (plain text) or /api/tools/ip (JSON). No API key, no authentication, no headers needed.

Edge Processing

Cloudflare's 330+ data centers detect your IP, geolocation, ASN, TLS version, and Client Hints from the incoming request — all processed ephemerally in under 50ms.

Structured Response

Get back 27 fields of telemetry data as JSON. IP, city, country, ISP, ASN, HTTP protocol, TLS cipher, Cloudflare colo, TCP RTT, User-Agent, and Client Hints — zero logs, zero storage.

Base URL

https://golive.ly

All endpoints are served from the same edge network. No subdomain, no separate host, no API key required.

Authentication

No authentication required

No API key. No header. No query parameter. Just call the endpoint.
