Question 1

Why do different data sources show different locations for the same IP?

Accepted Answer

Different IP databases (like IP2Region, GeoLite2) have varying update frequencies and use different mapping technologies or data collection methods. We recommend comparing results across multiple sources or relying on the most recently updated online APIs.

Question 2

Why is the query slow sometimes or showing API errors?

Accepted Answer

In addition to local offline databases, this tool integrates free public online APIs. To avoid triggering rate limits on these third-party APIs during batch queries, the system automatically queues requests with a slight delay. If you see an error, the API might have temporarily blocked your request or timed out. Please try again later.

Question 3

Are my query records saved? Is my privacy protected?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely safe. All queries are performed in real-time between your browser and our server. The results are only displayed locally in your browser. We do not track, log, or save any of your IP query history.

Question 4

What is the maximum number of IPs I can query at once?

Accepted Answer

To ensure service stability and prevent abuse of third-party APIs, you can query a maximum of 50 IPs at a time. If you input more, the system will automatically extract and query only the first 50 valid IPs.

Question 5

What information is included in the exported Excel file?

Accepted Answer

The exported Excel file includes all the IPs you queried, along with the data source names, geographic locations (country/region/city), and ISP (Internet Service Provider) information for each IP, making it convenient for offline analysis and archiving.
