Before you start​

Huntbase signs in to ip2location with API Key. Create the credential in ip2location first, then keep it to hand for the Connect step.

  1. Sign up for an IP2Location.io plan. A free plan is available.
  2. Copy the API key issued to your account.
Watch out for
  • The fields returned depend on your subscription plan, and each plan has monthly query limits.

For the vendor's own instructions, see IP2Location.io plans and sign-up.
