Composes witha monthly download of DB11 LITE gives city-level lookups locally with no request meter, and the same account adds IP2Proxy LITE and ASN LITE; the hosted API is the separate IP2Location.io record. Bulk path: the monthly LITE downloads
Reliabilitya LITE account is disabled when account sharing or massive download is detected; LITE accuracy is stated as 98 percent at country and 60 percent at city level
NotesFree requests: unmetered local lookups against the monthly LITE files. Rate limit: none; one download a month is expected. Bulk path: the monthly DB1 to DB11 LITE, IP2Proxy LITE and ASN LITE downloads (BIN, CSV, MMDB).
Evidence notedocumented the LITE landing pages, the DB11 page, the LITE FAQ and the registration form were quoted on 2026-10-30. No account was opened, so no file was downloaded; a token download would move it to measured.
