ip-api.com Overview

Description of ip-api.com

ip-api.com appears to be a web service focused on IP geolocation lookups. Based on the page title, metadata, and screenshot, the site offers an API that returns location-related information for IP addresses and domains in formats such as JSON, XML, CSV, newline-separated text, and serialized PHP. The homepage presents it as a developer-oriented tool with documentation, signup, contact information, and an interactive demo for testing queries.

The domain name and on-page content suggest the site is operated as a technical utility for developers, businesses, or network administrators who need geolocation data for analytics, localization, fraud screening, or infrastructure management. Its long operating history, high traffic ranking, and supporting subdomains for members and status pages are consistent with an established API platform rather than a temporary or purely promotional website.

Safety Assessment for ip-api.com

The available scan data shows mixed but generally limited concerns. One out of 91 security engines flagged the domain, while multiple blacklist databases reported it as clean at the time of this scan. The domain also has a relatively strong trust score, a long registration history of more than 14 years, and a high Tranco ranking, all of which may indicate an established and widely used service.

The malware scan marked several documentation and API example endpoints as suspicious, and the flagged links all reference sample lookup paths containing an IP address. That pattern may reflect heuristic detection on API response examples or machine-readable endpoints rather than clear evidence of harmful content. No widespread blacklist activity was reported, and the flagged items appear concentrated around documentation and demo-style resources rather than hidden payloads or exploit pages.

Based on available data, no significant threats were detected at the time of this scan, although the isolated engine detection and heuristic suspicious findings suggest some caution is still appropriate when interpreting automated scan results.

Technical Description

The site uses a valid SSL/TLS certificate issued by Sectigo Limited, with expiry extending to 2027-03-09. Hosting appears to be provided through Total Uptime Technologies, LLC, with the server IP geolocating to Ashburn, United States. The domain uses its own nameservers and has been registered since 2012, which may support the impression of a mature service.

DNSSEC appears to be unsigned, which is not uncommon but does mean DNS responses do not benefit from that additional integrity layer. The scan data did not identify major infrastructure-level issues, although the exact web server software and protocol details were not available in the provided results.
