For Agents

Resolve an IP address to country, region, city, timezone, currency, security flags, and ISP via a single Abstract endpoint authenticated by an api_key query parameter.

Quickstart

Get started with Abstract IP Geolocation API in minutes using your preferred integration method.

# Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf)
{
  "jentic": {
    "url": "https://api.jentic.com/mcp",
    "auth": "oauth"
  }
}

# Then ask your agent:
"look up country from ip address"

# → Jentic returns the GET /events tool with parameter schema, agent executes.

Capabilities

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI document for Abstract IP Geolocation API, keeping it validated and agent-ready.

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Abstract IP Geolocation API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. Abstract's IP Geolocation API resolves IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to a precise location, timezone, currency, and ISP across 4 billion+ addresses and 250,000+ cities, with weekly data refreshes. The service exposes a single GET endpoint and is keyed by an api_key query parameter, returning JSON with optional security and connection-type fields. It is built for inline lookups in onboarding, fraud, personalization, and analytics flows.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Abstract IP Geolocation API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Fraud check at signup

Call the geolocation endpoint with the signup IP to retrieve country, ISP, and security flags (proxy, Tor, hosting provider) and combine them with other fraud signals before allowing account creation. The response is small and fast enough to inline into the signup path.

Call GET / with ip_address=203.0.113.1 and reject the signup if security.is_vpn or security.is_proxy is true

Geo-pricing and localization

Resolve the visitor's IP at first page load and use country, currency, and language fields to choose the right storefront variant. Abstract returns ISO country and currency codes plus locale-specific currency_name and currency_symbol so the storefront can render prices correctly.

Call GET / with the visitor's IP and return country_code, currency.currency_code, and timezone.name

Audit-log enrichment

Attach geolocation data to every audit log entry so security teams can spot anomalous logins. The Abstract response includes country, region, city, latitude, longitude, and ISP — enough to flag impossible-travel events.

For each login event, call GET / with the source IP and append country, city, and isp to the audit record

AI agent visitor enrichment via Jentic

An agent looking up website visitor or webhook source IPs calls the Abstract endpoint via Jentic to attach geolocation context without storing the api_key. Jentic returns the operation schema on demand so the agent can execute against any IP without prior integration code.

For each incoming webhook IP, call GET / and append country, city, security.is_vpn to the event payload

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

The Abstract api_key is stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. Jentic injects it as the api_key query parameter at runtime so the agent never sees the raw secret.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent (e.g. 'detect country from ip', 'check vpn from ip') and Jentic returns the matching Abstract operation with its input schema.

Time to first call

Direct integration: 2-4 hours including auth, retries, and security-flag handling. Through Jentic: under 15 minutes — search, load, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using Abstract IP Geolocation API API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Abstract IP Geolocation API?

Abstract API does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Abstract IP Geolocation API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

What authentication does the Abstract IP Geolocation API use?

Authentication is an api_key query parameter on the single GET / endpoint. There is no OAuth or header-based auth. Through Jentic the api_key is held in the vault and injected at execution, so the agent never sees the raw key.

Can I detect VPN or proxy usage with this API?

Yes. The response includes a security object with is_vpn, is_proxy, is_tor, and is_hosting flags. These can be used directly as fraud signals or stacked with risk scores.

What are the rate limits for the Abstract IP Geolocation API?

The free tier allows 20,000 requests per month at 1 request per second; paid plans raise both quota and concurrency. Limits are not encoded in the spec — check your Abstract dashboard for the live values.

How do I check if an IP is from a VPN through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'detect vpn from ip', load the GET / operation on ipgeolocation.abstractapi.com/v1, then execute with the IP. Install with pip install jentic and use await client.search, load, execute.

Is the Abstract IP Geolocation API free?

Yes, with a 20,000 requests/month free tier. Paid plans add SLA, HTTPS-only options, and higher concurrency. The response schema is identical across tiers.
