Unlock Deeper IP Intelligence with IPinfo Core: City-Level Precision and Enhanced Privacy Signals
In today’s data-driven world, understanding the context behind an IP address is critical for businesses seeking to optimize operations, enhance security, and ensure compliance. To meet this growing demand, IPinfo, a leader in internet data solutions, has announced the launch of IPinfo Core, a groundbreaking product that delivers enhanced IP intelligence at an accessible entry-level price. Designed to empower developers and businesses, IPinfo Core combines city-level geolocation with five new privacy and connection-type signals, enabling smarter, faster decisions about the trustworthiness of an IP’s reported location.
Bridging the Gap Between Geolocation and Context
While geolocation data provides valuable insights, it often tells only part of the story. For example, an IP address might indicate a location in London, but if it originates from a VPN server, relying solely on that data could lead to misleading conclusions—especially in fraud prevention or regulatory compliance scenarios. Recognizing this limitation, IPinfo Core introduces enriched attributes that go beyond basic geolocation and ASN data, offering a deeper layer of context.
“Geolocation is useful, but it’s only part of the picture,” said Ben Dowling, CEO of IPinfo. “An IP might show London, but if it’s actually a VPN server, that location data becomes misleading for fraud prevention or compliance decisions. Our entry-level plan previously only included basic geolocation and ASN data. With IPinfo Core, we’re providing a richer level of context so users can make informed decisions based on IP geolocation data. This gives developers more IP context than ever before.”
Key Features of IPinfo Core
IPinfo Core stands out with its comprehensive set of 16 enriched IP attributes, transforming raw IP addresses into actionable intelligence. These features support a wide range of use cases, from fraud detection to network optimization and content localization. Here’s what makes IPinfo Core unique:
- City-Level Precision: Accurate geolocation data powered by IPinfo’s global Probe Network, ensuring reliable city-level identification.
- Privacy Detection: Flags such as is_anonymous (detecting VPNs, proxies, Tor nodes, and relays) provide visibility into whether an IP address represents a real user or a masked identity.
- Connection-Type Context: Attributes like is_mobile, is_satellite, is_hosting, and is_anycast help identify the type of network or device associated with an IP address.
- ASN Details: Information about network ownership, operational location, and network type offers additional layers of context.
- Flexible Delivery Options: Access IPinfo Core via API, download a database, or integrate directly through the Snowflake Marketplace, giving users flexibility to choose the method that best suits their workflow.
Real-World Applications of IPinfo Core
The versatility of IPinfo Core makes it a powerful tool across industries. Below are some key use cases where IPinfo Core shines:
1. Fraud Prevention and Account Takeover Defense
Combining location mismatches with privacy and network-type signals allows businesses to detect suspicious activity. For instance, if a user logs in from an IP flagged as a VPN or Tor node, it could indicate potential fraud or account takeover attempts. By leveraging IPinfo Core’s enriched data, organizations can proactively mitigate risks and protect their systems.
2. Ad Targeting and Attribution
For marketers, precise city-level data and ASN information enable refined audience segmentation and more accurate campaign attribution. By understanding both the geographic location and network type of users, advertisers can deliver highly targeted ads and measure the effectiveness of their campaigns with greater confidence.
3. Geo-Fencing and Rights Compliance
Content providers and streaming platforms can enforce access rules based on location and privacy flags to comply with licensing agreements. For example, IPinfo Core can help ensure that users accessing geo-restricted content are genuinely located in authorized regions, while also identifying attempts to bypass restrictions using VPNs or proxies.
4. Network Optimization
Telecommunications companies and IT teams can leverage IPinfo Core’s connection-type flags to optimize network performance. By identifying mobile, satellite, or hosting IPs, they can allocate resources more efficiently and troubleshoot issues faster.
