## Proxmint GeoIP

- `data-apis/proxmint-geoip` | qualifies | evidence documented | binding request-rate | category IP geolocation API | tier Free keyless
- needs card no, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-11-02T00:23:42.369Z (live) | stale on 2026-12-03
- url https://proxmint.com/tools/ip-lookup
- free tier: Keyless JSON lookup at proxmint.com/api/geoip: no API key, no sign-up, CORS open; no monthly or daily quota is stated, and the limit is 60 requests a minute per IP, then HTTP 429; MaxMind GeoLite2 data. | unit: unlimited | metered on: none | read on: 2026-11-02 | source: [1] | note: Measured on 2026-11-02: three bursts of 70 parallel lookups of distinct addresses all answered HTTP 200, and a fourth burst of 70 within 35 seconds answered 34 times HTTP 200 and 36 times HTTP 429.
- per-object cap: one address per request; the ip parameter takes a single public IPv4 or IPv6 address | source: [2]
- retention: not stated
- egress: not applicable | metered: no | source: [1]
- identity: anonymous | detail: no key, no sign-up and no account for the lookup endpoint; an account exists only for the paid proxy service
- interface: rest
- limits:
  - request-rate (binding): 60 requests a minute per IP address, then HTTP 429 [1]
- binding note: No monthly or daily quota is stated, so the per-minute limit is the only published limit.
- interface detail: GET https://proxmint.com/api/geoip?ip=ADDRESS (IPv4 or IPv6; the caller's address when ip is omitted), JSON with ip, countryCode, countryName, city, region, lat, lon, tz, accuracyRadiusKm, asn and asnOrg; private and reserved addresses answer 400; OpenAPI 3.1 specification at /openapi.json
- endpoint: part of interface detail
- tooling: any HTTP client or a browser (CORS open)
- composes with: keyless country, city, ASN and time zone lookups from MaxMind GeoLite2 at a stated 60 a minute per address. Bulk path: none; the GeoLite2 data behind it is the route for large local jobs, last after every hosted route
- reliability: Answers carry cache-control public, s-maxage=86400, so a repeated lookup of one address can come from the CDN cache; the first HTTP 429 came only after about 210 lookups in 35 seconds, against a stated 60 a minute.
- notes: Free requests: no quota stated, keyless. Rate limit: 60 requests a minute per IP (HTTP 429); measured enforcement began later, after about 210 lookups in 35 seconds. The page carries the MaxMind GeoLite attribution notice. Bulk path: none.
- evidence note: The tool page and the OpenAPI specification were read on 2026-11-02, and a keyless lookup answered HTTP 200; the stated limit of 60 a minute is documented and the burst test shows it enforced later than stated, so the rung is documented rather than measured.
- extras:
  - bulk_path: none
  - free_requests: no stated quota; 60 a minute per IP
