geoipcity

Lookup details for an IP address using the legacy Maxmind GeoIP City webservice. A license key with webservice access is required.

This module is compatible with the following Maxmind GeoIP legacy services:

• Country
• City
• City/ISP/Org
• Omni

You can configure a service to use for all lookups or decide per lookup which service you'd like to use. This allows you to use less expensive calls depending on the level of detail required. See Configuration and .lookup below for more information.

New: geoip2ws package for the Maxmind GeoIP2 web services.

Example

var geoip = require ('geoipcity');
geoip.settings.license = 'licenseKey';
 
geoip.lookup ('8.8.8.8', function (err, data) {
  if (!err) {
    console.log (data.city);
    console.log (data.latitude +', '+ data.longitude;
  } else {
    console.log (err);
  }
});

Output for service cityisporg

{ target:      '8.8.8.8',
  countryCode: 'US',
  regionCode:  'CA',
  city:        'Mountain View',
  postalCode:  '94043',
  latitude:    '37.419201',
  longitude:   '-122.057404',
  metroCode:   '807',
  areaCode:    '650',
  isp:         'Level 3 Communications',
  org:         'Google Incorporated' }

Installation

Stable: npm install geoipcity

Develop: npm install fvdm/nodejs-geoipcity#develop

Configuration

You can change a few parameters with the settings object:

Example

geoip.settings.license = 'myLicenseKey';
geoip.settings.apiproto = 'https';

.lookup ( ip, [service], callback )

Retrieve geolocation and related information about an IP-address from the Maxmind API.

The callback function takes these two parameters: err and data. In case of a problem err is an instanceof Error with all related information. When everything is good, err is null and data contains the object with geo data.

Error handling

The err parameter in the callback function can return these errors. Some have additional properties.
