Tool Introduction
"Precise IP Geolocation Query" is an efficient and accurate online tool designed to help users quickly query the detailed geographical location and network ownership information of any IP address. By entering an IP address, you will obtain a series of precise data including longitude, latitude, continent, country, province, city, administrative division code, country code, time zone, zip code, owning organization, ISP, and location radius. This helps you comprehensively understand the physical location and network background of the IP address, making it a powerful assistant for network management, data analysis, and security auditing.
How to use IP Geolocation Query?
- Find the "IP Address" input box on the tool page.
- Enter the IP address you need to query in the input box (supports IPv4 or IPv6).
- Click the query button, and the tool will immediately process your request.
- The query results will be displayed in a list format, containing all detailed geolocation information for that IP address.
Input Parameters:
- IP Address (
ip): Required, the IPv4 or IPv6 format address you need to query.
Output Results:
The query results will be presented as a detailed data list, including the following fields:
- Longitude (longitude): The geographical longitude corresponding to the IP address.
- Latitude (latitude): The geographical latitude corresponding to the IP address.
- Continent (continent): The continent where the IP address is located.
- Country (nation): The country to which the IP address belongs.
- Province (province): The province/state to which the IP address belongs.
- City (city): The city to which the IP address belongs.
- Administrative Division Code (code): The administrative division code of the area.
- Country Code (areaCode): The international code for the country/region.
- Time Zone (timezone): The standard time zone of the IP address location.
- Zip Code (zipcode): The postal code of the IP address location.
- Owning Organization (owner): The name of the organization that owns the IP address block.
- ISP (isp): The Internet Service Provider offering network services.
- Location Radius (radius): The estimated accuracy range of the geolocation (unit: kilometers).
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What IP address formats are supported?
- A: This tool supports querying IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. You just need to fill in the complete IP address in the input box.
- Q: What is the format of the output results?
- A: The query results will be displayed in a structured list format, containing various detailed geolocation attributes of the IP address, making it easy for you to get the information you need at a glance.
- Q: How accurate are the query results?
- A: This tool is named "Precise Edition" and is committed to providing highly accurate IP geolocation query services. The results will provide detailed longitude, latitude, country, and city information, supplemented by a location radius to help you assess the accuracy of the positioning. However, the physical location of an IP address itself can be affected by various factors, such as network structure, ISP policies, etc., and there may be some deviations in certain cases.
- Q: Why might the queried IP address deviate from the actual location?
- A: IP address geolocation queries are usually based on IP databases. These databases are updated regularly, but it is impossible to match all global network changes in real-time. In addition, ISPs may assign IP addresses from one region to users in other regions, or use NAT technology, causing the physical location displayed by the IP address to deviate from the user's actual location. The location radius field can serve as a reference for positioning accuracy.
Notes
- Please ensure that the entered IP address format is correct to avoid query failures due to format errors.
- This tool queries the registered or geographical location information of an IP address on the network, which may differ from the GPS positioning of a personal device.
- There is a certain delay in the update of IP databases, and the query results are for reference only and should not be used as legal evidence.
- For certain private network IP addresses (such as 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, etc.), the tool cannot query public network geolocation information. Please ensure that you are querying a public IP address.
Principles of IP Address Positioning
IP address positioning (or IP geolocation) is a technology that identifies the geographical location corresponding to an IP address. Its main principle is to utilize IP address databases maintained globally. These databases contain mapping relationships between IP address ranges and geographical location information. When a user initiates an IP query request, the tool matches the IP address to its corresponding IP range and returns the geographical location data associated with that IP range at the time of registration.
This geographical location information typically comes from the following aspects:
- ISP Registration Information: Internet Service Providers (ISPs), when acquiring IP address blocks, register their allocated geographical areas with relevant management organizations (such as IANA, RIR).
- Network Topology: By analyzing network routing information, such as BGP routing tables, the approximate location of an IP address can be inferred.
- Wi-Fi and Cellular Data: For mobile devices, IP positioning can be assisted by collecting location data from Wi-Fi hotspots and cellular base stations, but this method is usually not directly used for pure IP address query tools.
- User Feedback and Data Calibration: Some positioning services collect user feedback to calibrate and improve the accuracy of their databases.
Therefore, IP address positioning is a speculative positioning based on network information, and its accuracy is affected by various factors such as database quality, network configuration, and IP address allocation policies.
