Common questions
How does ApogeoAPI compare to IPGeolocation.io for free users?
Both have a free tier. IPGeolocation.io offers 1,000 requests/day on the free plan. ApogeoAPI offers 1,000 requests/month on the permanent free tier, but adds a 14-day full-feature trial on signup so new users can test all endpoints.
Does ApogeoAPI include timezone detection like IPGeolocation.io?
Yes. The ApogeoAPI IP geolocation response includes timezone (IANA timezone ID), UTC offset, and DST flag — the same data points IPGeolocation.io provides.
Can I get exchange rates alongside IP geolocation from ApogeoAPI?
Yes — and this is a key difference. ApogeoAPI includes live exchange rates (161 currencies, updated every 4h) in the same subscription. IPGeolocation.io requires a separate API or a higher-tier plan for currency data.
