Test the web services

There are several approaches to testing the web services:

Learn more about testing with GeoIP or GeoLite web services below.

 

If you are testing with the actual GeoIP or GeoLite web services, you can take the following approaches:

Manual testing methods

You can do a quick test of the GeoIP web services manually by looking up IP addresses through your account portal.

For step-by-step instructions on how to use the IP lookup tools in the account portal, read our article on looking up IPs with GeoIP web services.

Integration testing

You can do a full test of the GeoIP web services by integrating using one of our client APIs, or our REST API. Read a quick-start technical integration guide on our developer's site.

Our API documentation includes comprehensive instructions with code examples. Your account ID number and license key, available through the account portal [direct link, login required], would be used to authenticate API requests. Learn more about license keys.

Our APIs handle sending a request and receiving back the response. Implementing the data we return in the query response would then be handled in your own custom integration code.
