Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## 🌍 IP Geolocation & ASN Checker (Pay Per Result) ### Overview This Apify Actor provides a fast and reliable way to check IP addresses for **geolocation, ASN (Autonomous System Number), ISP details, and privacy flags**. Whether you’re a developer, marketer, or security researcher, this tool helps you enrich datasets, detect fraud, and understand user locations β€” all with a **pay-per-result pricing model**. --- ### πŸš€ Key Features - 🌍 **Geolocation Data:** City, state, country, postal code, timezone, latitude, longitude. - 🏒 **ASN & ISP Info:** ASN, ASN name, type, hostname, company. - πŸ”’ **Privacy & Anycast Flags:** Detect private/proxy indicators and anycast. - πŸ“Š **Bulk Processing:** Check many IPs in one run. - πŸ’° **Pay Per Processed IP:** Billing is based on the number of IPs you submit. - ⚑ **High Performance:** Optimized for speed and parallel runs. - πŸ”Œ **Simple Integration:** Clean JSON input/output. - βœ… **No external account required:** Works out of the box. --- ### πŸ’‘ Use Cases * **Security & Fraud Detection** β†’ Flag suspicious IP addresses (proxy, VPN, datacenter). * **Web Analytics** β†’ Enrich logs with geolocation and ISP data. * **Ad Targeting** β†’ Identify audience location by IP for better segmentation. * **E-commerce** β†’ Detect unusual logins or fraudulent purchases. * **Data Enrichment** β†’ Enhance datasets with IP metadata. --- ### βš™οΈ How it Works The Actor accepts a list of IP addresses, checks each one, and returns enriched details about the IP, including **geolocation, ASN, ISP, and privacy flags**. You can process **single IPs or bulk lists** in the same run. --- ### πŸ’΅ Pricing This Actor uses **Pay Per Result** pricing. - **$1 per 1000 results** - **Definition:** 1 result = **1 IP processed**, regardless of the lookup outcome (valid, invalid, private range, or partial data). - **Example:** If you submit 100 IPs and only 23 are valid, you are billed for **100 results**. --- ### ⚑ Performance Recent benchmarks: - **100 IPs** β†’ 11 seconds (with 512 MB memory). - On **Apify Starter Plan (32 GB RAM)** β†’ you can run up to **32 actors in parallel**. - **Throughput per actor:** 545 IPs per minute. - **Throughput with 32 actors in parallel:** `545 IPs x 32 approx 17.440 IPs per minute` βœ… That means you can validate **~17,000+ IPs per minute** on the Starter Plan. --- ### πŸ”‘ Input Parameters | Field | Type | Description | Default value | |-------|--------|--------------------------------|---------------| | `ips` | array | A list of IP addresses to check | `[]` | --- ### πŸ“₯ Input Example ```json { "ips": [ "4.2.2.2" ] } ```` ### Output Example ```json [ { "ip": "4.2.2.2", "geolocation": { "city": "Monroe", "state": "Louisiana", "country": "United States", "postal": "71203", "timezone": "America/Chicago", "latitude": "32.5530", "longitude": "-92.0422", "country_code": "US" }, "asn": "AS3356", "asn_name": "Level 3 Parent, LLC", "asn_type": "ISP", "hostname": "b.resolvers.level3.net", "range": "4.0.0.0/9", "company": "Level 3 Parent, LLC", "privacy": false, "anycast": true }, ] ``` ### πŸ“Š Why Choose IP Geolocation & ASN Checker? Here's a comparison of using our Actor versus manual checking or other less efficient methods: | Feature | IP Geolocation & ASN Checker (Actor) | Manual Checking / Other Methods | | :------------------ | :----------------------------------- | :------------------------------ | | **Speed** | Up to 17,440 checks/minute (parallel) | Very slow, human-dependent | | **Accuracy** | Real-time lookup | Prone to human error, outdated | | **Cost-Efficiency** | **Pay per processed IP** | High labor costs, fixed fees | | **Scalability** | Unlimited bulk processing | Limited, resource-intensive | | **Automation** | Fully automated | Manual, time-consuming | | **Integration** | Simple JSON | Complex, custom solutions | | **Reliability** | Consistent, robust performance | Inconsistent, prone to errors | | **Account Setup** | No external account/API required | Requires external API keys | *** ### Support For any questions, issues, or custom requirements, please reach out to our support team.\ We are dedicated to ensuring your success with the **IP Geolocation & ASN Checker Actor**. *** ### ❓ FAQ **Q: How are results counted for billing?**\ A: **1 result = 1 IP processed.** You are billed for every IP you submit, even if the IP is invalid, private, unreachable, or returns partial data. **Q: Do I pay only for valid IPs?**\ A: No. Billing is per processed IP, not per valid match. Example: submit 100 IPs, 23 valid β†’ billed for 100 results. **Q: What formats are accepted?**\ A: IPv4 and IPv6 in standard notation. Malformed strings may still count as processed if submitted. **Q: Do I need to connect an external API or account?**\ A: No. This Actor works out of the box. **Q: Is bulk usage supported?**\ A: Yes. You can submit large lists and use parallel runs for higher throughput. **Q: What do the `privacy` and `anycast` fields mean?**\ A: `privacy`: Indicates if the IP is associated with VPNs, proxies, or other methods to mask identity.\ A: `anycast`: Means the IP address is shared by multiple systems, often for load balancing or redundancy. # Actor input Schema ## `ips` (type: `array`): Enter a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address (e.g. 8.8.8.8) ## Actor input object example ```json { "ips": [ "8.8.8.8", "1.1.1.1", "2001:4860:4860::8888" ] } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "ips": [ "8.8.8.8", "1.1.1.1", "2001:4860:4860::8888" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("vtrdev/ip-info-checker").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`πŸ’Ύ Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // πŸ“š Want to learn more πŸ“–?
