Investigation Brief
The IP 208.95.112.1 redirects to ip-api.com, a long-running SaaS that supplies IP location data in JSON, XML, CSV and other formats. Free tier is capped at 45 requests per minute and barred from commercial use; a paid Pro tier removes those limits. No evidence of credential harvesting, malware distribution, or deceptive billing.
What the site actually offers
The homepage presents a standard developer-oriented API service that returns geolocation fields for any IP address. Documentation lists supported response formats and integration examples.
The operator states the service has been running since 2012 and is used by thousands of businesses; external monitoring sites list it as a legitimate provider.
Free versus paid tiers
Unauthenticated users are limited to 45 HTTP requests per minute; exceeding the limit returns HTTP 429. Commercial use of the free endpoint is explicitly disallowed.
A paid Pro tier is promoted for SSL access, unlimited queries, usage statistics, and commercial support; sign-up links point to members.ip-api.com.
Security scan results
the browser threat feed returned no warnings. the multi-engine malware scan shows a single isolated detection out of 91 engines, consistent with a false positive or hosting-environment flag rather than active malware.
Why the score is 88
The page automatically sent the browser to an unrelated external site. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.
