IP Lookup for Spreadsheets, answered

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull IP Lookup for Spreadsheets into a spreadsheet?
Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in with your key, and type =VERVE("iplookup", "173.172.81.20") into any cell. The same function works in Google Sheets and Excel — no scripts, no API wiring.
How many credits does each IP Lookup for Spreadsheets cell cost?
Each resolved cell costs 5 credits. Filling a column of ten rows costs ten times that; a cell only re-bills when it actually refreshes, so a static sheet doesn't keep charging.
Can I fill a whole column at once?
Yes. Reference a range instead of a single cell — e.g. point IP Lookup for Spreadsheets at A2:A50 — and it returns a value for every row in one call, or just drag =VERVE("iplookup", "173.172.81.20") down like any spreadsheet function.
Does IP Lookup for Spreadsheets work in Excel as well as Google Sheets?
Yes. It's the same =VERVE() function with the same arguments and the same key in both — build a sheet in one and it behaves identically in the other.
How current is the data?
IP Lookup for Spreadsheets is served live from APIVerve's production data engine, and cells recalculate on the refresh cadence you choose — every open, hourly, or every 30 minutes. It draws on 4B+ IPs and refreshes on the schedule you set.
Where does the data come from, and what shows on my bill?
VerveSheets runs on APIVerve, our production data engine; IP Lookup for Spreadsheets is one of 300+ sources on the same key. Invoices and card statements show APIVERVE.
