IPinfo Geolocation

Free IP geolocation API. No API key required for basic usage (50k requests/month), optional token for higher limits.

Configuration

The IPINFO_TOKEN environment variable is optional - the skill works without it using the free tier. Configure it via the OpenClaw dashboard UI for higher rate limits, or set it manually:

• Dashboard UI: Configure IPINFO_TOKEN in the OpenClaw dashboard (optional)
• Environment variable: export IPINFO_TOKEN="your-token"
• Query parameter: ?token=YOUR_TOKEN (for one-off requests)

Quick Lookup

Single IP:

curl -s "https://ipinfo.io/8.8.8.8"

Current IP:

curl -s "https://ipinfo.io/json"

With token (optional, from environment):

curl -s "https://ipinfo.io/8.8.8.8?token=${IPINFO_TOKEN}"

Or pass token directly:

curl -s "https://ipinfo.io/8.8.8.8?token=YOUR_TOKEN"

Response Format

JSON response includes:

• ip: IP address
• hostname: Reverse DNS hostname
• city: City name
• region: State/region
• country: Two-letter country code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2)
• postal: Postal/ZIP code
• timezone: IANA timezone
• loc: Coordinates as "latitude,longitude"
• org: Organization/ASN information

Extract Specific Fields

Using jq:

curl -s "https://ipinfo.io/8.8.8.8" | jq -r '.city, .country, .loc'

Country only:

curl -s "https://ipinfo.io/8.8.8.8" | jq -r '.country'

Parse coordinates:

curl -s "https://ipinfo.io/8.8.8.8" | jq -r '.loc' | tr ',' '\n'

Batch Processing

Process multiple IPs:

for ip in 8.8.8.8 1.1.1.1 208.67.222.222; do
  if [ -n "$IPINFO_TOKEN" ]; then
    echo "$ip: $(curl -s "https://ipinfo.io/$ip?token=$IPINFO_TOKEN" | jq -r '.city, .country' | tr '\n' ', ')"
  else
    echo "$ip: $(curl -s "https://ipinfo.io/$ip" | jq -r '.city, .country' | tr '\n' ', ')"
  fi
done

Python Usage

import os
import requests

# Without token (free tier)
response = requests.get("https://ipinfo.io/8.8.8.8")
data = response.json()
print(f"{data['city']}, {data['country']}")
print(f"Coordinates: {data['loc']}")

With token from environment:

import os
import requests

token = os.getenv("IPINFO_TOKEN")
if token:
    response = requests.get("https://ipinfo.io/8.8.8.8", params={"token": token})
else:
    response = requests.get("https://ipinfo.io/8.8.8.8")
data = response.json()

Or pass token directly:

response = requests.get("https://ipinfo.io/8.8.8.8", params={"token": "YOUR_TOKEN"})

Rate Limits

• Free tier: 50,000 requests/month, ~1 req/sec
• With token: Higher limits based on plan
• Configure IPINFO_TOKEN via OpenClaw dashboard UI or environment variable

Common Use Cases

• Geolocate IP addresses
• Enrich IP lists with location data
• Filter IPs by country
• Calculate distances between IPs using coordinates
• Timezone detection for IPs
