GeoIP and GeoLite API Responses

Headers

The Content-Type for a successful response varies based on the service as outlined below:

Service	Content-Type
GeoIP Country	`application/vnd.maxmind.com-country+json; charset=UTF-8; version=2.1`
GeoIP City	`application/vnd.maxmind.com-city+json; charset=UTF-8; version=2.1`
GeoIP Insights	`application/vnd.maxmind.com-insights+json; charset=UTF-8; version=2.1`
GeoLite2 Country	`application/vnd.maxmind.com-country+json; charset=UTF-8; version=2.1`
GeoLite2 City	`application/vnd.maxmind.com-city+json; charset=UTF-8; version=2.1`

Errors may be returned with the Content-Type set to application/vnd.maxmind.com-error+json; charset=UTF-8; version=2.0. If this is the case, then the body of the response contains a JSON document with two keys, code and error. See the Errors section for more details.

The response will always include a Content-Length header as well.

Errors

When the server returns an error (4xx or 5xx), the response may include a JSON document in the body. This document is a single object with the keys code and error. The code field is a static error code for machine use. The value of any given code will never change, though codes can be added or removed. The error field is a human-readable description of the error and may change at any time.

Not all errors include a JSON body. An error in content negotiation will not include a body, nor will many 5xx errors, which typically happen outside of our web service request handling code. You should check the Content-Type type of an error response before attempting to decode the body as JSON.

In addition to the errors documented below, client code should also be prepared to handle any valid HTTP 4xx or 5xx status code.

Code	HTTP Status	Description
`IP_ADDRESS_INVALID`	400 Bad Request	You have not supplied a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address.
`IP_ADDRESS_REQUIRED`	400 Bad Request	You have not supplied an IP address, which is a required field.
`IP_ADDRESS_RESERVED`	400 Bad Request	You have supplied an IP address which belongs to a reserved or private range.
`AUTHORIZATION_INVALID`	401 Unauthorized	You have supplied an invalid MaxMind account ID and/or license key in the Authorization header.
`LICENSE_KEY_REQUIRED`	401 Unauthorized	You have not supplied a MaxMind license key in the Authorization header.
`ACCOUNT_ID_REQUIRED`	401 Unauthorized	You have not supplied a MaxMind account ID in the Authorization header.
`INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS`	402 Payment Required	The license key you have provided does not have sufficient funds to use this service. Please purchase more service credits.
`PERMISSION_REQUIRED`	402 Payment Required	You do not have permission to use the service. Please contact our support team for more information.
(none)	403 Forbidden	This status is returned when the request body is larger than 20,000 bytes.
`IP_ADDRESS_NOT_FOUND`	404 Not Found	The supplied IP address is not in the database.
(none)	415 Unsupported Media Type	Your request included a `Content-Type` header that is not supported. For `GET` requests, this means the web service cannot return content of that type. For `PUT` and `POST` queries, this means the web service cannot parse a request body of that type.
(none)	503 Service Not Available	There is a problem with the web service server. You can try this request again later.

Response

All services return data as a JSON document. The document that is returned always consists of an object (aka map or hash). Each key in the object in turn maps to an object or an array of objects.

 1{
 2  "city":                 { ... },
 3  "continent":            { ... },

10  "traits":               { ... },
11  "maxmind":              { ... }
12}

The exact set of top-level keys varies based on the particular GeoIP web service you are using. If a key maps to an undefined or empty value, it is not included in the JSON object. This applies both to top-level keys and the objects they map to.

The data returned in the document will be in UTF-8 encoding.

Miscellaneous Notes

Languages

Many of the objects listed above include a names key. The value of that key is in turn an object which maps locale codes to a name in the appropriate language and script.

Currently, this web service may return the following locale codes:

Code	Language	Notes
de	German
en	English	English names may still include accented characters if that is the accepted spelling in English. In other words, English does not mean ASCII.
es	Spanish
fr	French
ja	Japanese
pt-BR	Brazilian Portuguese
ru	Russian
zh-CN	Chinese (Simplified)

If an object has any name data, then en will be one of the keys in the names object. No other language is guaranteed. However, it is possible that we might not have any name data at all for a given object.

Returned Values as Database, Map, Dict, or Hash Keys

We strongly discourage you from using a value from any names field as a key in a database or map/dict/hash data structure.

These names may change between releases. Instead we recommend using one of the following:

Data object	Recommended key
`city`	`geoname_id`
`continent`	`code` or `geoname_id`
`country`, `registered_country`, and `represented_country`	`iso_code` or `geoname_id`
`postal`	`code`
`subdivisions`	`iso_code` or `geoname_id`

Example Response Bodies

Each service returns data as a JSON document. The document that is returned always consists of an object (aka map or hash). Below are the schema definitions that describe each service’s response body.

GeoIP Country Body Example

The following is an example of a full response to a GeoIP Country web service request.

A GeoLite2 Country request follow the same structure, but the data returned will be less accurate. In addition, GeoLite Country requests will not return the maxmind object.
