Overview

ip-fast.com is a lightweight, no-auth API that returns the caller's IP address along with associated country and city information. It is perfect for quickly detecting where a user is connecting from without any setup or API key. Simply make a GET request and receive instant geolocation data.

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Plain text response instead of JSON The default response is plain text; JSON format is not requested
Add ?format=json to your request URL to get a structured JSON response
Incorrect city or country returned IP geolocation databases have limited accuracy, especially for mobile or VPN IPs
This is a known limitation of IP geolocation; treat city-level data as approximate and country-level as more reliable
CORS error in browser Browser security policy blocking the cross-origin request
Check if the API supports CORS headers; if needed, make the call server-side or use a CORS proxy

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
