IPinfo · Rate Limits

Ipinfo Rate Limits

IPinfo enforces rate limits per access token, not per IP. Limits are expressed as a monthly request quota on the Lookup endpoints (Core / Plus / Max / Enterprise) — the quota size is selected at sign-up via a slider (150k–5M / month) and overages bill at a per-1k rate. The free Lite tier has no daily, hourly, or per-second throttling, and paid tiers explicitly publish 'no concurrent request limits, no per-second throttling.' The Summarize IPs and Map IPs tools enforce a separate 5-uses-per-day limit irrespective of plan. The Batch endpoint allows bulk enrichment within the monthly quota.

Ipinfo Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for IPinfo on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.

It captures 9 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests_per_month, concurrent_requests, requests_per_second, and requests_per_day.

The profile also includes 6 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled, quotaExceeded, and forbidden.

Tagged areas include Rate Limiting, IP Intelligence, Quota, and Throttling.

Policies

Token-scoped limits
All rate limits are enforced against the access token, not the source IP. Multiple deployments sharing one token share the quota.
Soft monthly quota with metered overages
When the included monthly request count is exceeded, requests continue to succeed but are billed at the per-1k overage rate for the plan. Configurable alerts (e.g. 80% / 100% of quota) can be set in the dashboard.
429 on tool throttling
The /tools/summarize-ips and /tools/map endpoints return HTTP 429 with a message directing the caller to use the Lite API for higher-volume needs.
403 on auth failure or quota lockout
Returns HTTP 403 when the token is missing, invalid, or has been suspended for billing or policy reasons.
Three authentication methods
Tokens can be presented via HTTP Basic Auth (token as username, empty password), Bearer header (Authorization Bearer), or query parameter (?token=...).
Database product bypasses limits
Customers on the downloadable IPinfo Database product perform lookups locally with no API rate-limit applicability.
