# Location & ISP Info We use the [MaxMind GeoIP2](https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip2-databases) database to determine IP location. To access an IP with a specific location, you do not need to provide any additional parameters. Simply send a request to the port associated with the desired location's assigned IP. ### ISP provider and ASN checking We understand that you may need to verify the network provider of your ISP IPs. Some databases can show inaccurate data for the ISP provider or ASN because they often display the original IP address owner rather than the network where the IP is currently announced. To ensure you have the most accurate, real-time data, we recommend checking your chosen ISP provider and ASN data in the [RIPEstat](https://stat.ripe.net/) database. It reflects the current internet announcement status of the IP. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
