**APIs profiled:** 17

IPinfo is an IP address data and intelligence platform that provides geolocation (country, region, city, coordinates, postal, timezone), ASN data, company association, mobile carrier identification, hosted domains lookup, privacy detection (VPN, proxy, Tor, relay, hosting), residential proxy detection, WHOIS, IP ranges, abuse contacts, and an IP-to-Places product. Data is available via a unified REST API (Lite, Core, Plus, Max, Enterprise tiers), a Batch Enrichment endpoint, and downloadable databases (CSV, MMDB, JSON, Parquet). Authentication uses access tokens via Basic Auth, Bearer Token, or query parameter; dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 endpoints are available.
