  description: >-
    The ipify IP Geolocation API (geo.ipify.org) is the commercial counterpart to
    the free public IP API. It is operated by WhoisXML API and resolves an IPv4 or
    IPv6 address — or a domain or email — into a geolocation, ISP, Autonomous System
    (ASN), and reverse-DNS profile. Authentication uses an API key passed as the
    `apiKey` query parameter. Plans are credit-metered (Country = 1 credit,
    Country+City = 2, Country+City+VPN = 3).
