We offer GeoIP, minFraud, and proxy detection web services. Our web services are based on the HTTP protocol, and there are no databases or software to install. We also offer a batch upload service where you can upload a text file containing IP addresses and get back a CSV file containing associated GeoIP data.
You may set up a plan where you will be automatically billed for more queries if you run low by selecting one of the plans below and clicking on "Add auto-renewal" on the cart page.
The queries do not expire. Our services have had 99.98% uptime since October 2002. We send out a warning email to purchase more queries when the number of queries remaining reaches 10,000. We send another email if you run out of queries.

On May 1, 2013, MaxMind released a new data format called GeoIP2 and a new GeoIP2 JavaScript API for accessing that data. Client APIs in other languages will be released during Summer 2013 when the new GeoIP2 RESTful API will be fully launched. Read about What's New in GeoIP2.
