# country-ip-blocks
## 🔍 Try it online
Look up any IP address or prefix at **[Lens by ipverse](https://lens.ipverse.net)** to see its country and AS information.
## Overview
Ready-to-use IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes by country (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2), sourced from all five regional internet registries (RIR). Aggregated and updated daily.
## 📍 Need more accurate geolocation?
This dataset shows where IP ranges are officially *delegated* - useful for administrative and regulatory purposes. For more accurate operational geolocation based on actual network assignments, check out **[geo-ip-blocks](https://github.com/ipverse/geo-ip-blocks)**.
| Dataset | Best for |
|---------|----------|
| [country-ip-blocks](https://github.com/ipverse/country-ip-blocks) | Administrative/regulatory use cases |
| [geo-ip-blocks](https://github.com/ipverse/geo-ip-blocks) | Operational geolocation |
## Formats
**JSON format**:
```json
{
"country": "Andorra",
"countryCode": "AD",
"delegationStatus": [
"allocated",
"assigned"
],
"exportMode": "aggregated",
"prefixes": {
"ipv4": [
"46.172.224.0/19",
"85.94.160.0/19"
],
"ipv6": [
"2a01:fb00::/29"
]
}
}
```
**Plaintext format** (Andorra IPv4):
```
46.172.224.0/19
85.94.160.0/19
```
**Plaintext format** (Andorra IPv6):
```
2a01:fb00::/29
```
## How to use
Download prefixes for a specific country (Andorra in these examples):
**Andorra in JSON format:**
```bash
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ipverse/country-ip-blocks/master/country/ad/aggregated.json
```
**Andorra IPv4 addresses:**
```bash
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ipverse/country-ip-blocks/master/country/ad/ipv4-aggregated.txt
```
**Andorra IPv6 addresses:**
```bash
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ipverse/country-ip-blocks/master/country/ad/ipv6-aggregated.txt
```
### Bulk download
Download all countries in a single archive from the [latest release](https://github.com/ipverse/country-ip-blocks/releases/latest):
```bash
curl -LO https://github.com/ipverse/country-ip-blocks/releases/latest/download/country-ip-blocks.tar.gz
tar -xzf country-ip-blocks.tar.gz
```
### Want more granular control?
Instead of blocking an entire geographic region, it might be more effective to block specific internet providers based on their autonomous system number (ASN). Check out [as-ip-blocks](https://github.com/ipverse/as-ip-blocks) for more information.
## Use cases
- Block countries at the firewall (for compliance or security reasons)
- Geo-based access control and traffic routing
- Network research and statistical analysis
- Threat hunting and security research
## Recent changes
- **2026-01-17**: Added bulk download archive in [releases](https://github.com/ipverse/country-ip-blocks/releases/latest)
- **2026-01-03**: Repo renamed from `rir-ip` to `country-ip-blocks` and JSON format updated to use camelCase.
- 2025-05-04: Removed country code EU (non-standard code that RIPE only kept for historical reasons)
