# Get GeoIP statistics

Availability: Generally available since 7.13

## Paths

- `GET` `/_ingest/geoip/stats`

## Description

Get download statistics for GeoIP2 databases that are used with the GeoIP processor.

[Read the reference documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.19/geoip-processor.html)

## Authentication

- Api key: `Authorization: <value>`
  Elasticsearch APIs support key-based authentication.
  You must create an API key and use the encoded value in the request header.
  For example:
  
  
  ```
  curl -X GET "${ES_URL}/_cat/indices?v=true" \
    -H "Authorization: ApiKey ${API_KEY}"
  ```
  
  To get API keys, use the `/_security/api_key` APIs.
- Basic: `Authorization: Basic <credentials>`
- Bearer: `Authorization: Bearer <token>`
  Elasticsearch APIs support the use of bearer tokens in the `Authorization` HTTP header to authenticate with the API.
  For examples, refer to [Token-based authentication services](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/token-authentication-services.html)
