IP Geolocation & ASN Checker (Pay Per Result)

Overview

This Apify Actor checks IP addresses for geolocation, ASN (Autonomous System Number), ISP details, and privacy flags. It's designed for bulk processing with a pay-per-result pricing model, making it suitable for data enrichment, fraud detection, and analytics.

Key Features

• Geolocation Data: Retrieves city, state, country, postal code, timezone, and coordinates.
• Network Details: Provides ASN, ASN name, ISP, hostname, and IP range.
• Privacy Detection: Flags IPs associated with proxies, VPNs, or private networks.
• Bulk Processing: Handles large lists of IPs in a single run.
• Cost-Effective: You are billed $1 per 1000 IPs submitted, regardless of lookup outcome.
• High Performance: Optimized for speed, capable of processing ~545 IPs per minute per actor instance.
• Simple Integration: Uses straightforward JSON for input and output with no external API keys required.

How to Use

The actor accepts a list of IP addresses via an input JSON object. It processes each IP and returns an array of enriched data objects.

Input

The only required input parameter is ips, an array of IP address strings.

Input Example:

{
  "ips": ["4.2.2.2", "8.8.8.8"]
}

Output

The actor returns an array of objects. Each object contains the original IP and its associated metadata.

Output Example:

[
  {
    "ip": "4.2.2.2",
    "geolocation": {
      "city": "Monroe",
      "state": "Louisiana",
      "country": "United States",
      "postal": "71203",
      "timezone": "America/Chicago",
      "latitude": "32.5530",
      "longitude": "-92.0422",
      "country_code": "US"
    },
    "asn": "AS3356",
    "asn_name": "Level 3 Parent, LLC",
    "asn_type": "ISP",
    "hostname": "b.resolvers.level3.net",
    "range": "4.0.0.0/9",
    "company": "Level 3 Parent, LLC",
    "privacy": false,
    "anycast": true
  }
]

Performance & Pricing

• Pricing: $1 per 1000 IPs submitted. One "result" is counted for each IP you send, valid or not.
• Speed: A single actor instance processes approximately 545 IPs per minute.
• Scalability: On Apify's Starter Plan (32 GB RAM), you can run about 32 actors in parallel, enabling a throughput of roughly 17,000+ IPs per minute.
