# DDG IP Geolocation

> DDG IP Geolocation is a paid API for AI agents from agents.daedalusdevelopmentgroup.com, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Resolves an IP address to its geographic location and related metadata, returning a bounded result for a micro-payment per call

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability ddg-ip-geolocation-83936b4b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the geographic location of IP address 203.0.113.42 — I need to know the country, city, and region it maps to?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when your agent needs per-call, micro-payment-gated IP geolocation without committing to a subscription or account with a raw geolocation provider. Ideal for AI agents operating autonomously with crypto payment rails (x402/USDC) that need bounded, artifact-based results rather than raw API credentials. Best suited for low-to-moderate volume lookups where $0.001 USDC per call is acceptable and on-chain payment auditability matters.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed IP address input returns an error
- Private or reserved IP ranges (e.g. 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x) may return no geolocation data
- Payment failure via x402 results in a 402 response blocking the lookup
- Unknown or unroutable IPs may return partial or empty location data
- Service may be unavailable if provider environment is not live, returning 5xx errors

## How this service works

Machine-payable DDG services for AI agents. Current public live payment rails are x402 multi-chain USDC and direct-crypto auto/manual for public receiving-address families. MPP/Stripe/Tempo is installed but pending live provider env plus penny-settlement proof before any MPP-live advertisement. DDG sells bounded artifacts/results, not raw provider account access.

## Output

A JSON object confirming success (ok: true) along with geolocation fields for the queried IP address, expected to include country, region, city, and likely latitude/longitude and ISP or ASN metadata, delivered as a bounded artifact.
