IPinfo Places API

The IPinfo Places API identifies the real-world location associated with an IP address at the building level. It matches IP addresses observed on venue Wi-Fi networks to verified physical places such as hotels, airports, museums, stadiums, transit stations, and 70+ other categories.

Place name: The name of the venue or building associated with the IP address. This information can be used to identify the brand of the business as well.
Location category: One of 70+ standardized location tags (e.g., hotel, museum, airport).
Network SSID: The Wi-Fi network name observed at the venue.
Coordinates: The building-level latitude and longitude of the matched place.

IPinfo Places is currently in public beta. Access is available via API. Additional fields and data (including brand, building dimensions, polygon boundaries, BSSIDs, and last-seen date) are available for select use cases.
