For Agents

Geolocate IP addresses, detect security threats (VPN, proxy, Tor), look up ASN and timezone data, and parse user-agent strings. Supports bulk lookups of up to 50,000 IPs per request.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the ipgeolocation.io API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the ipgeolocation.io API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

Capabilities

Use Cases

Patterns agents use ipgeolocation.io API for, with concrete tasks.

★ AI Agent IP Geolocation via Jentic

AI agents handling geo-targeted content delivery or access control can geolocate visitor IPs through Jentic. The agent passes an IP address and receives structured location data including country, city, coordinates, ISP, and local currency - enabling automated content localisation, pricing, and compliance checks.

Search Jentic for 'geolocate IP address', load the ipgeolocation.io /v3/ipgeo schema, and query with ip='8.8.8.8' to retrieve country, city, coordinates, and timezone

Fraud Detection and IP Security Screening

Payment processors, login systems, and anti-fraud platforms screen IP addresses for security threats before allowing transactions. The security endpoint returns VPN/proxy/Tor detection, threat scores, and known attacker flags - each lookup costs 2 credits and supports bulk analysis of up to 50,000 IPs for batch fraud reviews.

GET /v3/security with ip='198.51.100.23' to retrieve the threat_score, is_vpn, is_proxy, is_tor, and is_known_attacker flags

Timezone-Aware Scheduling and Communication

Scheduling applications and communication platforms determine the recipient's local time before sending notifications or booking meetings. The timezone endpoint accepts IPs, coordinates, addresses, or IATA codes and returns current local time, UTC offset, and DST status, while the conversion endpoint translates timestamps between any two timezones.

GET /v3/timezone with ip='203.0.113.50' to retrieve the timezone name, current local time, UTC offset, and DST status for scheduling

Astronomy and Solar Event Calculations

Weather apps, photography planning tools, and outdoor activity platforms calculate solar and lunar events for specific dates and locations. The astronomy endpoint returns sunrise, sunset, golden hour, twilight phases, moonrise, moonset, and moon illumination percentage, with time series support for date ranges up to 90 days.

GET /v3/astronomy with lat=40.7128, long=-74.0060, date='2026-06-21' to retrieve sunrise, sunset, golden hour, and moon phase for New York on the summer solstice

Key Endpoints

13 endpoints — look up geolocation, security threat data, asn details, timezone information, astronomy data, and user-agent metadata for any ipv4 or ipv6 address.

Why Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Your ipgeolocation.io API key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected as the apiKey query parameter at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'geolocate an IP address' or 'detect a VPN proxy', and Jentic returns the matching ipgeolocation.io operation with its input schema, so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using ipgeolocation.io API through Jentic.

What authentication does the ipgeolocation.io API use?

The API uses an API key passed as a query parameter named 'apiKey' on every request. The free plan allows 1,000 requests per day. Through Jentic, this key is stored encrypted in the credential vault and appended automatically - agents never handle the raw key.

Can I geolocate multiple IP addresses in one request?

Yes. The /v3/ipgeo-bulk endpoint accepts a POST request with an array of up to 50,000 IP addresses or domain names. Each IP in the array returns the same geolocation fields as the single-IP endpoint, making batch processing efficient.

What are the rate limits for the ipgeolocation.io API?

The free plan allows 1,000 requests per day with a 429 status returned when exceeded. Paid plans offer higher daily and per-second limits. Security lookups cost 2 credits per IP. Bulk endpoints count each IP in the array as a separate credit.

How do I detect whether an IP is a VPN or proxy through Jentic?

Install the SDK with pip install jentic and search for 'detect VPN proxy IP'. Jentic returns the ipgeolocation.io /v3/security operation schema. Pass the target IP and receive is_vpn, is_proxy, is_tor, threat_score, and confidence scores.

Can I get astronomy data for a range of dates?

Yes. The /v3/astronomy/timeSeries endpoint accepts dateStart and dateEnd parameters (maximum 90-day span) along with coordinates. It returns an array of astronomy objects - one per day - with sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moon phase, golden hour, and twilight data.

Does the timezone endpoint support conversion between two zones?

Yes. The /v3/timezone/convert endpoint accepts source and target locations (by timezone name, coordinates, or address) plus a timestamp. It returns the converted time, hour difference, and minute difference between the two zones.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the ipgeolocation.io API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which ipgeolocation.io operations the agent may call and which credentials it may use. Since these are all read-only lookups where the IP or coordinate travels as a query parameter, you can scope the agent to just the operations it needs, such as geolocating an IP with /v3/ipgeo while denying VPN and threat detection on /v3/security or timezone conversion on /v3/timezone/convert. It stays a lookup client and cannot reach anything beyond the operations you allow.
