Quick start
Create a key and resolve an IP address to U.S. demographics in three steps.
1. Create an API key
Create an account, open the dashboard, and create a key. Copy it immediately — Speck stores only a hash and shows the secret once.
New accounts start with a 7-day trial (1,000 successful calls). See pricing.
2. Send a lookup
Call GET /api/v1/demographics with your key. Pass a public IPv4 or IPv6 address, or omit ip to look up the caller.
curl "https://speckinsights.com/api/v1/demographics?ip=8.8.8.8" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_YOUR_KEY"
3. Read the payload
Every successful demographics lookup returns four top-level fields:
| Field | What you get |
|---|---|
ip | The public address that was resolved. |
geo | City, region, country, ZIP, coordinates, timezone, and ISP. |
demographics | Population, income, education, housing, labor, and race/ethnicity for that ZIP — or null when none apply. |
notes | Why demographics are missing, if they are: no ZIP, non-U.S. IP, or no match for that ZIP. |
Next: authentication, demographics, or the cheat sheet.
