The URL Hosting Address API, also known as the URL Lookup API, is a service that provides location information for any valid URL or domain name, aiding in determining the physical or virtual hosting location of websites.

The API utilizes various data sources and algorithms to analyze domain names and extract hosting location details, including IP address geolocation databases, DNS records, and WHOIS information.

The API offers a range of location details, including the country, city, region, latitude, and longitude associated with the hosting server of the specified URL or domain name.

The API strives to deliver accurate and reliable location information based on available data sources. However, accuracy may vary depending on factors such as the completeness of geolocation databases and the availability of updated WHOIS records.

The API provider may update its database regularly to ensure that location information remains current and accurate. However, users should refer to the API documentation for details on update frequency and data freshness.
