- url https://api.techniknews.net/ipgeo/
- free tier: keyless GET /ipgeo/{ip} returns country, region, city, coordinates, timezone, currency, ISP, ASN and proxy and hosting flags as JSON; a lookup of 8.8.8.8 answered HTTP 200 with no key, no account and no credit card | unit: requests | metered on: unstated | read on: 2026-11-02 | source: [1] | note: unverified: no request quota, rate limit or terms page is published on the host; a public API directory describes it as unlimited and free.
- per-object cap: one IP address per request, in the URL path | source: [1]
- retention: not applicable: a lookup API; answers are cached for 900 seconds (cache-control max-age=900; cached true in the body) | source: [1]
- egress: not applicable: JSON answers, not metered in bytes | metered: no | source: [1]
- identity: anonymous | detail: no key, account or header: a plain GET answered HTTP 200
- interface: rest
- limits:
  - request-rate: unverified: no rate limit or quota is published on the host [1]
- binding note: no limit is published, so none could be named; the service caches answers for 900 seconds.
- interface detail: GET https://api.techniknews.net/ipgeo/{ip} answers JSON with Access-Control-Allow-Origin *; the host root lists IP, IPgeo, Radiodata and Speedtest endpoints
- endpoint: part of interface detail
- tooling: any HTTP client; the JSON field names follow the ip-api.com shape (status, country, countryCode, regionName, city, zip, lat, lon, timezone, isp, org, as)
- composes with: Free keyless IP to location, ISP, ASN and hosting-flag lookups with no published quota; one IP per call. Bulk path: none listed.
- reliability: a lookup of 8.8.8.8 answered HTTP 200 in about 560 ms and the answer was served from a cache (cached true); no rate-limit header is returned
- notes: Free requests: no quota stated on the host (a public API directory says unlimited). Rate limit: not stated. The service caches answers for 900 seconds. Bulk path: none listed.
- evidence note: One keyless lookup of 8.8.8.8 was probed on 2026-11-02 and the host root page was read; no quota, rate limit or terms page exists on the host, so those values stay unverified.
- extras:
  - bulk_path: none listed
  - free_requests: no quota stated
