IPGeolocation Java SDK for the IPGeolocation API

Overview

Overview

The official Java SDK for the IPGeolocation API. Use /v3/ipgeo and /v3/ipgeo-bulk to get IP geolocation, company and ASN data, timezone and network data, hostname and abuse details, browser and device details, and security signals from one API call. Security signals include VPN detection, proxy detection, threat score, Tor detection, attacker flags, and cloud or data center IP checks.

This SDK supports IPv4, IPv6, and domain lookups, typed Java response classes, raw JSON or XML output, and response metadata including credits charged and request duration.

Installation

Requires Java 8+ and Maven 3.8+.

What You Can Get From One API Call

Data Set	How To Request It	Common Use Cases
IP geolocation	Default response	IP geolocation lookup, localization, geo targeting
Company and ASN	Default response	ASN lookup, ISP lookup, ownership enrichment, network analysis
Timezone	Default response	Local time lookup, scheduling, regional reporting
Network and currency	Default response	Routing context, analytics, pricing workflows
Security and risk signals	`include("security")`	VPN detection, proxy detection, fraud prevention, threat analysis
Abuse contact data	`include("abuse")`	Incident response, abuse handling, reporting
Hostname data	`include("hostname")` , `include("liveHostname")` , `include("hostnameFallbackLive")`	Reverse DNS lookup, infrastructure enrichment, hosting checks
User-agent data	`include("user_agent")` with `userAgent(...)`	Browser detection, device detection, traffic analysis
Geo accuracy and DMA data	`include("geo_accuracy")` , `include("dma_code")`	Local targeting, media market mapping, proximity analysis

Common Use Cases

VPN detection and proxy detection for login, signup, and payment screening
Threat score checks and IP risk signals for fraud prevention
ASN lookup, ISP lookup, and company enrichment for B2B traffic analysis
Browser, device, and operating system detection with include=user_agent
Abuse contact lookups for investigation and incident response
Hostname and reverse DNS enrichment for infrastructure visibility
Bulk IP enrichment for analytics pipelines, SIEM workflows, ad verification, and security operations

Security and Risk Signals

Request include("security") to receive the security object. This adds the signals most teams search for when they need VPN detection, proxy detection, threat score data, anonymous IP checks, or data center IP detection from the same API call.

Search Use Case	SDK Fields
VPN detection	`isVpn()` , `vpnProviderNames()` , `vpnConfidenceScore()` , `vpnLastSeen()`
Proxy detection	`isProxy()` , `proxyProviderNames()` , `proxyConfidenceScore()` , `proxyLastSeen()`
Residential proxy detection	`isResidentialProxy()`
Tor detection	`isTor()`
Anonymous IP detection	`isAnonymous()`
Threat score and risk scoring	`threatScore()`
Bot, spam, and attacker signals	`isBot()` , `isSpam()` , `isKnownAttacker()`
Relay detection	`isRelay()` , `relayProviderName()`
Cloud, hosting, or data center IP detection	`isCloudProvider()` , `cloudProviderName()`

Provider names, confidence scores, and last-seen dates are returned when the API has supporting evidence for the matched VPN, proxy, relay, or hosting signal.

    .addIp("8.8.8.8")
    .addIp("1.1.1.1")
    .build();

ApiResponse<List<BulkLookupResult>> response = client.bulkLookupIpGeolocation(request);
System.out.println("Count: " + response.data().size());
System.out.println("Credits: " + response.metadata().creditsCharged());

2. Bulk With Mixed Valid and Invalid Inputs

import io.ipgeolocation.sdk.model.BulkLookupError;
import io.ipgeolocation.sdk.model.BulkLookupResult;
import io.ipgeolocation.sdk.model.BulkLookupSuccess;
import java.util.List;

BulkLookupIpGeolocationRequest request = BulkLookupIpGeolocationRequest.builder()
    .addIp("8.8.8.8")
    .addIp("invalid-ip")
    .addIp("1.1.1.1")
    .build();

ApiResponse<List<BulkLookupResult>> results = client.bulkLookupIpGeolocation(request);

for (BulkLookupResult item : results.data()) {
  if (item instanceof BulkLookupSuccess) {
    BulkLookupSuccess success = (BulkLookupSuccess) item;
    System.out.println("OK: " + success.item().ip());
  } else if (item instanceof BulkLookupError) {
    BulkLookupError error = (BulkLookupError) item;
    System.out.println("ERR: " + error.message());
  }
}

Advanced Configuration

1. Response Metadata

All lookup methods return ApiResponse<T> .

ApiResponse<T> contains:

data()
metadata()

ApiResponseMetadata fields:

Field	Type	Description
`statusCode`	`int`	Final HTTP response status
`durationMs`	`long`	Total request duration
`creditsCharged`	`Integer`	Parsed from `X-Credits-Charged` when present
`successfulRecords`	`Integer`	Parsed from `X-Successful-Record` for bulk responses
`rawHeaders`	`Map<String, List<String>>`	Immutable raw response header map

Header helper methods:

Method	Return Type	Description
`headerValues("Header-Name")`	`List<String>`	Case-insensitive header lookup for all values
`firstHeaderValue("Header-Name")`	`String`	Case-insensitive header lookup for the first value

ApiResponse<IpGeolocationResponse> response = client.lookupIpGeolocation(
    LookupIpGeolocationRequest.builder().ip("8.8.8.8").build());

System.out.println("Status: " + response.metadata().statusCode());
System.out.println("Duration ms: " + response.metadata().durationMs());
System.out.println("Credits: " + response.metadata().creditsCharged());
System.out.println("Raw X-Credits-Charged: "
    + response.metadata().firstHeaderValue("X-Credits-Charged"));

The client always sends SDK-managed User-Agent and Accept headers. Bulk requests also send Content-Type: application/json .

2. JSON Output Modes

Use JsonOutput for logs or CLI output. By default, it omits null fields from the API response.

Mode	Behavior
`JsonOutputMode.COMPACT`	Omits `null` fields
`JsonOutputMode.FULL`	Includes `null` fields

import io.ipgeolocation.sdk.JsonOutput;
import io.ipgeolocation.sdk.JsonOutputMode;

String compact = JsonOutput.toPrettyJson(response.data());
String full = JsonOutput.toPrettyJson(response.data(), JsonOutputMode.FULL);

Error Handling

All SDK exceptions extend IpGeolocationException .

HTTP Status	Exception
400	`BadRequestException`
401	`UnauthorizedException`
404	`NotFoundException`
405	`MethodNotAllowedException`
413	`PayloadTooLargeException`
415	`UnsupportedMediaTypeException`
423	`LockedException`
429	`RateLimitException`
499	`ClientClosedRequestException`
5xx	`ServerErrorException`
Other non-2xx	`ApiException`

import io.ipgeolocation.sdk.exceptions.RateLimitException;
import io.ipgeolocation.sdk.exceptions.UnauthorizedException;

try {
  client.lookupIpGeolocation(LookupIpGeolocationRequest.builder().build());
} catch (UnauthorizedException ex) {
  System.err.println("Unauthorized: " + ex.apiMessage());
} catch (RateLimitException ex) {
  System.err.println("Rate limit: " + ex.apiMessage());
}

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Likely Cause	What To Do
`IllegalArgumentException: connectTimeout must be <= readTimeout`	Invalid timeout relation	Set connect timeout less than or equal to read timeout
`ValidationException` for XML with typed methods	Typed methods are JSON only	Use `lookupIpGeolocationRaw(...)` or `bulkLookupIpGeolocationRaw(...)` for XML
`ValidationException: bulk lookup requires apiKey in client config`	Bulk client config has no API key	Configure `IpGeolocationClientConfig` with an API key
`ValidationException: ips must not be empty`	Bulk body has no entries	Add at least one IP or domain
`ValidationException: ips must contain at most 50000 entries`	Bulk request is too large	Split the request into smaller chunks
`UnauthorizedException`	Missing or invalid key, or plan limitation	Verify your key and requested features
`RateLimitException`	Usage or billing condition	Review account usage and plan status
`LockedException`	Bogon IP address was queried	Use a valid public IP address
`BadRequestException`	Provided IP address is not valid	Use a valid public IP address

For the full list of API-side errors, see the IPGeolocation API error codes documentation.

FAQ

1. Can this Java SDK return VPN detection, proxy detection, and threat score data?

Yes. Use include("security") with /v3/ipgeo or /v3/ipgeo-bulk to receive the security object. That object can contain threat score, VPN detection, proxy detection, Tor detection, anonymous IP checks, residential proxy signals, bot and spam signals, known attacker signals, relay detection, and cloud or data center IP identification.

2. Can I get geolocation, company, ASN, timezone, and security data in one API call?

Yes. A single request can return geolocation, company, ASN, timezone, network, and currency data by default, and you can add more modules such as security , abuse , hostname , and user_agent with include(...) .

3. Does the SDK support domain lookup?

Yes, but domain lookup requires a paid API plan. On free plans, the live API currently returns 401 Unauthorized for domain lookups.

4. Does the SDK support bulk IP enrichment?

Yes. Use /v3/ipgeo-bulk through bulkLookupIpGeolocation(...) or bulkLookupIpGeolocationRaw(...) . Bulk requests support up to 50,000 IPs or domains per request and always require an API key.

5. Can I request raw XML instead of typed JSON?

Yes. Use lookupIpGeolocationRaw(...) or bulkLookupIpGeolocationRaw(...) with output(ResponseFormat.XML) . Typed methods are JSON only.

6. How do I get user-agent details such as browser, device, and operating system?

Use include("user_agent") and set the request User-Agent header with .userAgent(...) . The API can then return browser, device, operating system, and rendering engine details in the user_agent object.

7. What does include("*") return?

On free plans, include("*") returns the default response. On paid plans, it returns all modules available to your plan for that request.

8. Can I use request origin allowlisting for bulk lookup?

No. Request origin allowlisting works only for /v3/ipgeo on paid plans. /v3/ipgeo-bulk requires an API key.
