GeoJS API
Maps & Geocoding
GeoJS is a free, no-authentication IP geolocation API that returns the country, city, geographic coordinates, timezone, and other location information associated with an IP address. Designed for simplicity and zero friction, GeoJS requires no API key, no account registration, and no billing setup making it the fastest possible path to basic IP-based location detection for web applications.

Different GeoJS API use cases
- Detect Nigerian vs International Visitors:Use GeoJS to detect whether a website visitor is coming from Nigeria or abroad automatically showing NGN prices for Nigerian visitors and USD for international visitors, or redirecting to localized content based on detected country code.
- Pre-fill Country Code in Nigerian App Forms:Use GeoJS to auto-detect a web visitor's country on page load and pre-populate the country field or phone prefix in registration forms reducing friction for Nigerian users who would otherwise manually select Nigeria from a long country dropdown.
- Basic Geo-Restriction Check:Use GeoJS to implement a basic country-level access check in a Nigerian web application detecting if a visitor is from a restricted country and displaying an appropriate message before serving content.
- Timezone-Aware Nigerian Platform:Use GeoJS timezone detection to identify a user's local timezone on first visit, allowing a Nigerian scheduling or events platform to display times in the user's local timezone without requiring account setup or manual selection.
