My Geocode

ipstack drop-in replacement

ipstack's standard lookup and check endpoints answer at ipstack.mygeocode.com with the same top-level fields and location object, over HTTPS on every plan.

Change one hostname

Original host
  • api.ipstack.com
Use insteadipstack.mygeocode.com
Key parameteraccess_key (put your My Geocode key here, or leave it out for the free 2,500 a day)
Before
curl "http://api.ipstack.com/8.8.8.8?access_key=YOUR_IPSTACK_KEY"
After
curl "https://ipstack.mygeocode.com/8.8.8.8?access_key=YOUR_MYGEOCODE_KEY"

Why people move

ipstack's free plan is HTTP only and capped at 100 a month. Here the free allowance is 2,500 a day over HTTPS.

Try it before you sign up for anything. Requests to ipstack.mygeocode.com count toward the same 2,500 a day you get on our own endpoints, with no key and no account. Above that, credits at $0.001 per request or €50 a month unlimited. Signing up takes an email address and nothing else.

Details and differences

  • The fields, hostname, language and output parameters are honoured; output=xml is not available.
  • The time_zone, currency and connection modules are filled when requested with fields=..., without an upgrade.
  • Bulk lookups count one request per address.

If your client depends on a field or behaviour that is not listed here, tell us. Compatibility gaps get fixed quickly because they are usually small.
