Quickstart - IP Enrichment API

Getting Started

In order to use our IP Enrichment API, you must have an active API key. You can look up your API key by logging into our self-serve dashboard and going to the API Keys section.

Need an API Key?
If you don't have an API key, you can easily create one by signing up for a self-serve account. For more information, check out our Self-Serve Quickstart Guide, which walks you through the sign-up process as well as shows you how to use the self-serve API dashboard.

Simple Example

As mentioned in the Overview, the IP Enrichment API is a means of performing a one-to-one match of an IP address.

Here's a quick example that demonstrates retrieving a record with an IP address of 72.212.42.169:

import json

# See https://github.com/peopledatalabs/peopledatalabs-python
from peopledatalabs import PDLPY

# Create a client, specifying your API key
CLIENT = PDLPY(
    api_key="YOUR API KEY",
)

# Create a parameters JSON object
PARAMS = {
    "ip": "72.212.42.169"
}

# Pass the parameters object to the Person Enrichment API
json_response = CLIENT.ip(**PARAMS).json()

# Print the API response in JSON format
print(json_response)

curl -X GET \
  'https://api.peopledatalabs.com/v5/ip/enrich?api_key=xxxx&ip=72.212.42.169'

// See https://github.com/peopledatalabs/peopledatalabs-js
import PDLJS from 'peopledatalabs';

// Create a client, specifying your API key
const PDLJSClient = new PDLJS({ apiKey: "YOUR API KEY" });

// Create a parameters JSON object
const params = {
  ip: "72.212.42.169"
}

// Pass the parameters object to the Person Enrichment API
PDLJSClient.ip(params).then((jsonResponse) => {
  // Print the API response in JSON format
  console.log(jsonResponse);
}).catch((error) => {
  console.log(error);
});

require 'json'

# See https://github.com/peopledatalabs/peopledatalabs-ruby
require 'peopledatalabs'

# Set your API key
Peopledatalabs.api_key = 'YOUR API KEY'

# Create a parameters JSON object
PARAMS = {
    ip: '72.212.42.169'
}

# Pass the parameters object to the Person Enrichment API
json_response = Peopledatalabs::Enrichment.ip(params: PARAMS)

# Print the API response in JSON format
puts JSON.dump(json_response)

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "encoding/json"
    "context"
)

// See https://github.com/peopledatalabs/peopledatalabs-go
import (
    pdl "github.com/peopledatalabs/peopledatalabs-go"
    pdlmodel "github.com/peopledatalabs/peopledatalabs-go/model"
)

func main() {
    // Set your API key
    apiKey := "YOUR API KEY"
    // Set API key as environmental variable
    // apiKey := os.Getenv("API_KEY")

    // Create a client, specifying your API key
    client := pdl.New(apiKey)
    
    // Create a parameters JSON object
    params := pdlmodel.IPParams {
        IPBaseParams: pdlmodel.IPBaseParams {
            IP: "72.212.42.169",
        },
    }

    // Pass the parameters object to the Person Enrichment API
    response, err := client.IP(context.Background(), params)
    
    // Convert the API response to JSON
    jsonResponse, jsonErr := json.Marshal(response.Data)

    // Print the API response
    if err == nil && jsonErr == nil {
        fmt.Println(string(jsonResponse))
    }  
}

import requests

# Set your API key
API_KEY = "YOUR API KEY"

# Set the Person Enrichment API URL
PDL_URL = "https://api.peopledatalabs.com/v5/ip/enrich"

# Create a parameters JSON object
PARAMS = {
    "api_key": API_KEY,
    "ip": "72.212.42.169"
}

# Pass the parameters object to the Person Enrichment API
json_response = requests.get(PDL_URL, params=PARAMS).json()

# Print the API response in JSON format
print(json_response)

The API will return the matching ip record if the IP passed to it exists in our dataset.

The result of running the above code should be the IP record for 72.212.42.169 from our IP Dataset:
