# A reliable IP address API built by developers for developersThe API is hosted in the following geographical locations:With the above server coverage, the average end-user latency is significantly decreased. Each APIserver can handle 1,000 requests per second.api.ipapi.is uses the following cloud services from Microsoft Azure to reduce latency for API lookups:* Azure Cloud DNS for handling DNS lookups* Azure Traffic Manager to route API requests to the geographically closest serverInitially, ipapi.is was developed to provide accurate and reliable IP address data as afoundation for more complex IT security products. During development, we realized that many otherorganizations also need such basic (but accurate) IP data.ipapi.is is technically a simple service that does not deal with live end-user trafficand its complex consequences.However, our biggest challenge with ipapi.is is to provide basic IP address data in themost reliable, accurate, and updated manner possible. By providing this reliable data, your more complexIT security solutions and decisions will stand on a robust foundation.What are the use cases of the API?IP address data can be used in many different ways:* Geolocation: Determining the geographic location of a device connected to the Internet.* IP reputation: Identifying whether an IP address has been associated with spam or malicious* Network troubleshooting: Identifying connectivity issues and diagnosing network problems.* IT security: Tracking the source of cyberattacks and implementing security measures to prevent them.* Targeted advertising: Using IP address data to target advertisements to specific regions or traffictypes (e.g., locating only US visitors and excluding `hosting` traffic).* Personalization: Customizing website content based on the visitor's geographic location.* Analytics: Analyzing website traffic and visitor behavior based on their IP address.What Spider does on ipapi.is
