# Info Endpoint

Checks the provided IP address (both v4 & v6 formats) and returns all available information.

If you omit the ip parameter, the API responds with the data of the IP address the request was made from — an easy way to look up your own (or your user's) address.

Request Method: GET
Request URL: https://api.iplookupapi.com/v1/info?ip=[[ ip ]]

# Request Parameters

Parameter Type Mandatory Description
apikey string Your API Key
ip string The IP address you want to query. Defaults to the IP address the request was made from when omitted
language string Language for localising the IP data. Supported values: de, en, es, fr, ja, pt, ru, zh (default: en)
hostname boolean If set to 1, a reverse DNS lookup is performed and the hostname field is populated. Disabled by default because it can add response time
