[IPinfoHack] N8N custom nodes for IPinfo Lite

General
1

Hello everyone,

For the IPinfo Hackathon 2025, inspired by the growing use of automation tools like n8n (which I use myself), I’ve developed a custom n8n node to support both the IPinfo and n8n communities.

I’ll be honest — without the help of an AI assistant, it would have been a real challenge since coding isn’t my main job. But hey, that’s the spirit of vibe coding! :rocket:

I also added the IPinfo logo to the node for clarity — I hope that doesn’t break any copyright rules! If it does, I’ll happily remove it.

If you’d like to use the node, feel free to extend it by adding not only the free lookup and IPinfo Lite queries, but also the other IPinfo features. Who knows, maybe n8n will officially include it in future releases!

Thanks again for inviting me! Having also joined the previous event, I can say you’re doing an amazing job in keeping the community engaged and creative with these events.

:link: GitHub: GitHub - ilcomix/n8n-nodes-ipinfolite: This node for N8N provides access to IPinfo's APIs (`https://api.ipinfo.io/lite/{ip}` and standard endpoints) for IP information lookups. It supports both the Lite API (minimal data, faster and free) and Base API (more detailed info for specific fields).
:link: npmjs: n8n-nodes-ipinfolite - npm

:sparkles: Bonus: You can also install it directly from the n8n GUI:
Settings → Community Nodes → Install → search for "n8n-nodes-ipinfolite" … and you’re ready to go!

Incredible stuff! Can you share us a video demo on how it works in n8n? We will share it our social media channel. Thank you!

In this video, I walk you through the IPinfo Lite custom node for n8n – showing just how easy it is to install directly from the Community Nodes section.

I demonstrate several example queries, including:

  • Get Self IP (General) – instantly fetch your own IP info

  • Get Lookup IP (General) – retrieve details for any given IP (you can pass it like variable)

  • Get Self IPv4 – quickly check your current IPv4 address

  • Base – Organization (Lookup) – get only the organization tied to an IP (you can pass it like variable)

This video highlights the main features of the node and how it can be easily integrated into any workflow – whether for IT teams, SOC operations, or even simpler use cases like fetching your current (dynamic) IP to pass into other automations.

Other potential workflow ideas include:

  • Automatically logging IP information into a SIEM for monitoring

  • Enriching alerts with IP context in incident response playbooks

  • Sending your current public IP to a chat app or notification system whenever it changes

  • Using IP lookups to trigger location-based workflow logic

With just a few clicks, you can bring IPinfo’s powerful IP data directly into your n8n automations!
