4. Before you ship

Set a timeout and handle non-200 responses: free APIs can rate-limit or go down.
Cache responses where you can, instead of calling the API on every page view.
Read the official documentation ↗ for rate limits and terms of use.

FAQ

Does the IPGEO API need an API key in C#?

Can I call the IPGEO API from the browser?

Yes. It sends CORS headers, so front-end JavaScript can call it directly.
