IP-API

IP geolocation lookup API service.

Operator and data storage location unclear.

This profile contains catalog information about the service and its recorded ownership. Request evidence from an individual StackPatrol scan is reported separately.

Catalog matching

Detection signatures

StackPatrol attributes requests to this service when a hostname or URL matches one of these reviewed catalog patterns. A report shows the actual request separately.

ip-api.com

Review context

Ownership and transfer review

The catalog classifies IP-API as Unknown-owned, with Unknown recorded as its country. Ownership is a review signal, not evidence of the contracting entity, processing location or an international data transfer.

Confirm the operator and contracting legal entity before drawing conclusions about processing locations or transfer mechanisms. The catalog does not currently contain enough ownership evidence for that review.
