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 geoip-lookup-by-bip-rep-b183a766
```

Example prompt: Where in the world is the IP address 203.0.113.42 located? I need the country, city, timezone, and whether it's in the EU.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, self-contained IP geolocation with no external API dependencies, especially when EU membership detection and IANA timezone resolution are required alongside standard country/city data. Ideal for fraud detection pipelines, analytics enrichment, and ops tooling that bills per-lookup via x402 micropayments. Prefer over alternatives when you need embedded-dataset speed and don't want to manage a separate MaxMind license.

## Known failure modes

- Private or reserved IP range submitted — endpoint rejects with error, no geolocation returned
- Hostname that cannot be resolved — returns found: false or resolution error
- Malformed IP string — likely 4xx validation error
- IP genuinely not found in MaxMind GeoLite2 dataset — returns found: false with empty fields
- Missing required 'ip' query parameter — returns 4xx bad request
- Payment not provided or insufficient — returns 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

Resolve any public IPv4/IPv6 address (or hostname) to geolocation for analytics, fraud, and ops agents. Returns ISO country code, region, city, IANA timezone, latitude/longitude, EU membership flag, and the matched network range. Backed by an embedded MaxMind GeoLite2 dataset (no external API calls). Private and reserved IP ranges are rejected; no shell access.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with fields: ip (echoed input), found (boolean), country (ISO code), region, city, timezone (IANA), location.lat/lon, eu (boolean EU membership), range (matched CIDR network bounds as integers), metro, area, and latency_ms. Private/reserved IPs are rejected with an error.
