IPv6 lookup

The same lookup as IPv4 for IPv6 addresses, plus the announced prefix.

GEThttps://api.mygeocode.com/v1/ipv6

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
`ip`optional	string	An IPv6 address in any textual form. Default: the address the request came from.
`ips`optional	string	Comma-separated addresses, up to 100. Each counts as one request.
`lang`optional	string	ISO 639-1 code for names. Default `en`.
`key`optional	string	API key, if not sent as a header.

Example

curlJavaScriptPython

$ curl "https://api.mygeocode.com/v1/ipv6?ip=2606:4700:4700::1111"

const url = new URL("https://api.mygeocode.com/v1/ipv6");
url.searchParams.set("ip", "2606:4700:4700::1111");
const geo = await (await fetch(url)).json();
console.log(geo.prefix, geo.country_code);

import requests

geo = requests.get("https://api.mygeocode.com/v1/ipv6", params={"ip": "2606:4700:4700::1111"}, timeout=5).json()
print(geo["prefix"], geo["country_code"])

Response fields

All fields of the IPv4 lookup, plus:

Field	Type	Description
`prefix`	string	The BGP route containing the address, in CIDR notation.
`version`	integer	6, or 4 when an IPv4-mapped address (`::ffff:a.b.c.d`) was sent, in which case the answer is the IPv4 data.

Notes

Accepted forms: compressed (2001:db8::1), expanded, mixed with an embedded IPv4, and with a zone index (%eth0), which is stripped.
Calling without ip over an IPv4 connection returns the IPv4 result rather than an error, so a single call works for both.
Anonymous quota for requests that arrive over IPv6 is counted per /40. See rate limits.

Errors

400 invalid_request when ip is not a valid IPv6 address, or when ips has more than 100 entries.
