IP Location Database (Advance)
Overview
Our Geo Advance IP to Geolocation Database provides you with precise city level geolocation data for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Compared to our Geo Standard IP to Geolocation Database, it adds extra fields such as accuracy radius, confidence score, and DMA codes (DMA codes are available in the USA only) to give you the pinpoint accuracy you need to make tighter decisions.
Every IP range is linked to countries, states, districts, and cities, with multilingual place names resolved through reference tables for consistency. This structure makes it easy to join datasets and work with standardized metadata across different regions and languages. Our collection pipelines run nonstop, around the clock, with database updates delivered on a daily or weekly cadence depending on your subscription plan. The dataset is available in CSV and MMDB, with JSON, Parquet, or any custom format on request at no extra cost, all backed by stable schemas and changelogs.
Below, you'll find full documentation of the archive contents, schema definitions, file specifications, and integration notes to help you get up and running quickly.

1. db-ip-location.csv.gz
This file provides geolocation data for IPv4 and IPv6 ranges, mapped down to the city level. Each record links an IP block to country, state, district, and city (through place IDs for multilingual response), geographic coordinates, time zone, GeoNames ID, and connection type. It also includes accuracy radius, confidence level, and DMA codes (U.S. only) for finer and more granular details.

}Database Integrity & Authenticity Verification
There are two methods of verifying the integrity and authenticity of our Database:
1. Using the Signature File (Recommended)
IPGeolocation.io signs every database release to ensure its authenticity and integrity. This allows customers to verify that a downloaded Advance IP to Location database file originates directly from IPGeolocation.io and has not been altered, corrupted, or tampered with during transfer or storage.
Each database update includes a corresponding signature file, generated using our private signing key. Customers can validate the database using the provided public verification key. To verify a database file, you need:
- Database file (the downloaded archive)
- Signature file (the matching signature for that archive)
- Public key (public-key.pem)
These files are available via official IPGeolocation.io download endpoints and are also shared in database update notifications.
2. Using the Checksum File (Legacy)
Each database archive includes a checksum.txt file containing the SHA-256 checksums for the files packaged in the archive. You can use this file to validate that the extracted contents are complete and unchanged.
Data Format & Constraints
- All fields defined in the schema are always present in the Advance IP to Location MMDB response.
- Fields may contain empty strings (""), but never null, so null checks are not required.
- Place names such as countries, states, districts, and cities are available in multiple translations.
- All text values are encoded in UTF-8.
- Field names and response structure remain stable across updates for backward compatibility.
Database Updates & Delivery
When you subscribe to our Advance IP to Location database, we'll send you static download links. These links never change, so you can use them both for your initial download and for all future updates. You will receive:
- Database Archive URL : downloads the latest release of your subscribed database (CSV, MMDB or requested formats).
- Signature File URL : downloads the matching signature file for the latest release (used for authenticity verification).
- Public Key URL : downloads the public verification key (used with the signature file).
- Status Endpoint URL : returns the database's most recent update timestamp.
Our databases are updated continuously and shipped on a daily or weekly cycle depending on your plan, ensuring you always have access to the most current data. Each time your subscribed dataset is updated, you'll also receive an email notification so you don't miss a release.
For automated workflows, you can check our status endpoint to see the last update timestamp. When the date changes, simply re-fetch the archive using your static download URL to pull the latest version into your system.
