This is the official Go client library for the IPinfo.io IP address API, allowing you to look up your own IP address, or get any of the following details for other IP addresses:
- IP to Geolocation (city, region, country, postal code, latitude, and longitude)
- IP to ASN (ISP or network operator, associated domain name, and type, such as business, hosting, or company)
- IP to Company (the name and domain of the business that uses the IP address)
- IP to Carrier (the name of the mobile carrier and MNC and MCC for that carrier if the IP is used exclusively for mobile traffic)
Check all the data we have for your IP address here.

- About IPinfo
You'll need an IPinfo API access token, which you can get by signing up for a free account at https://ipinfo.io/signup.
The free plan is limited to 50,000 requests per month, and doesn't include some of the data fields such as IP type and company data. To enable all the data fields and additional request volumes see https://ipinfo.io/pricing
You can find the full package-level documentation here: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/ipinfo/go/v2/ipinfo
go get github.com/ipinfo/go/v2/ipinfoBasic usage of the package.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"net"
"github.com/ipinfo/go/v2/ipinfo"
)
func main() {
const token = "YOUR_TOKEN"
// params: httpClient, cache, token. `http.DefaultClient` and no cache will be used in case of `nil`.
client := ipinfo.NewClient(nil, nil, token)
const ip_address = "8.8.8.8"
info, err := client.GetIPInfo(net.ParseIP(ip_address))
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Println(info)
// Output: {8.8.8.8 dns.google false true Mountain View California US United States...
}This data is available even on our free tier which includes up to 50,000 IP geolocation requests per month.
The IPinfo Go library can be authenticated with your IPinfo API access token, which is passed as the third positional argument of the ipinfo.NewClient() method. Your IPInfo access token can be found in the account section of IPinfo's website after you have signed in: https://ipinfo.io/account/token
const token = "YOUR_TOKEN"
// params: httpClient, cache, token. `http.DefaultClient` and no cache will be used in case of `nil`.
client := ipinfo.NewClient(nil, nil, token)info.Country returns the ISO 3166 country code and info.CountryName returns the entire conuntry name:
fmt.Println(info.Country)
// Output: US
fmt.Println(info.CountryName)
// Output: United Statesinfo.IsEU returns a boolean response to see if a country is a European Union country or not.
fmt.Println(info.IsEU)
// Output: falseGet country flag as an emoji and its Unicode value with info.CountryFlag.Emoji and info.CountryFlag.Unicode respectively.
fmt.Println(info.CountryFlag.Emoji)
// Output: 🇳🇿
fmt.Println(info.CountryFlag.Unicode)
// Output: "U+1F1F3 U+1F1FF"Get the link of a country's flag image.
fmt.Println(info.CountryFlagURL)
// Output: https://cdn.ipinfo.io/static/images/countries-flags/US.svg"Get country's currency code and its symbol with info.CountryCurrency.Code and info.CountryCurrency.Symbol respectively.
fmt.Println(info.CountryCurrency.Code)
// Output: USD
fmt.Println(info.CountryCurrency.Symbol)
// Output: $Get the IP's continent code and its name with info.Continent.Code and info.Continent.Name respectively.
fmt.Println(info.Continent.Code)
// Output: NA
fmt.Println(info.Continent.Name)
// Output: North AmericaYou can map up to 500,000 IP addresses all at once using the GetIPMap command. You can input:
- IP addresses (IPV4 and IPV6 both)
- IP Ranges or Netblock
- ASN
After the operation, you will be presented with a URL to a map generated on the IPinfo website.
IP Map Code:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"net"
"github.com/ipinfo/go/v2/ipinfo"
)
func main() {
client := ipinfo.NewClient(nil, nil, "YOUR_TOKEN")
result, err := client.GetIPMap(
[]net.IP{
net.ParseIP("136.111.157.61"),
net.ParseIP("231.163.78.134"),
// ...
net.ParseIP("228.128.213.179"),
net.ParseIP("103.172.175.76"),
},
)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Println(result)
}Result:
See the output example map: https://ipinfo.io/tools/map/f27c7d40-3ff0-4ac2-878f-8d953dbcd3c8
Summarize IP addresses with GetIPSummary and output a report.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"net"
"github.com/ipinfo/go/v2/ipinfo"
)
func main() {
client := ipinfo.NewClient(nil, nil, "YOUR_TOKEN")
result, err := client.GetIPSummary(
[]net.IP{
net.ParseIP("171.164.236.38"),
net.ParseIP("206.132.224.214"),
// ....
net.ParseIP("208.191.89.104"),
net.ParseIP("81.216.14.76"),
},
)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Println(result)
// Ouptut: {100 100 map[CN:7 DE:4 JP:12 MX:3 US:32] map[Columbus, ...
}You can do batch lookups or bulk lookups quite easily as well. The inputs supported:
- IP addresses. IPV4 and IPV6 both
- ASN
- Specific field endpoint of an IP address e.g.
8.8.8.8/country
package main
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"time"
"github.com/ipinfo/go/v2/ipinfo"
"github.com/ipinfo/go/v2/ipinfo/cache"
)
func main() {
client := ipinfo.NewClient(
nil,
ipinfo.NewCache(cache.NewInMemory().WithExpiration(5*time.Minute)),
"YOUR_TOKEN",
)
// batchResult will contain all the batch lookup data
batchResult, err := client.GetBatch(
[]string{
"104.193.114.182", // you can pass IPV4 address
"8.8.8.8/country", // you can get specific information
"AS36811", // you can lookup ASN details
"2a03:2880:f10a:83:face:b00c:0:25de", // IPV6 address
},
ipinfo.BatchReqOpts{
BatchSize: 2,
TimeoutPerBatch: 0,
TimeoutTotal: 5,
},
)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
for k, v := range batchResult {
fmt.Printf("k=%v v=%v\n", k, v)
}
}Examples of Batch / Bulk Lookup:
The loop declaration in the batch lookup showcases the "caching" capability of the IPinfo package.
