No API key, no signup, and crucially no rate limits. If you need basic IP-to-location data without worrying about hitting a quota, this is one of the simplest options available.

3. JavaScript — Visitor Location

// Get current user location by IP
fetch('https://api.techniknews.net/ipgeo/')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => {
    console.log(`You appear to be in ${data.city}, ${data.countryCode}`);
    console.log(`ISP: ${data.isp}`);
    console.log(`Coordinates: ${data.lat}, ${data.lon}`);
  })
  .catch(err => console.error('Geo lookup failed:', err));

4. Python — Batch Geolocation

import requests

ip_list = ['8.8.8.8', '1.1.1.1', '9.9.9.9']
for ip in ip_list:
    resp = requests.get(f'https://api.techniknews.net/ipgeo/{ip}')
    loc = resp.json()
    print(f"{ip}: {loc.get('city', '?')}, {loc.get('country', '?')} [{loc.get('lat')}, {loc.get('lon')}]")
