About

Pointpin is a simple API that gives your sites and apps fast, reliable IP geolocation (and useful location data, too). No configuration, no troubleshooting: it just works. The lightweight JSON API makes integration trivial. Perfect for native apps (iOS or Android), web apps, or websites. We recommend using the official Pointpin Ruby gem for integration with Ruby apps. First install the gem by adding this to your gemfile.

About

IP Geolocation and reverse IP geocoding technology on the web are about detecting requests coming from your visitors and locating them in the world, down to the city they are in, based on their IP address. GeoPlugin is the easiest way for you to geolocate your visitors, allowing you to provide geolocalised content more relevant to their geographical location. Each simple call to the API will also provide an accurate and up-to-date geolocalized currency converter so you know how much your product costs in your visitor's currency IP Geolocation can be performed on both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses using the same API request format. geoPlugin detects whether the IP is IPv4 or IPv6 automatically so you don't have to. geoPlugin uses the GeoLite database from MaxMind.
