Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

📝 Information

This documentation provides information about the lightweight Node.js module designed for sending requests to a geolocation data API. This module enables you to retrieve location information for a specified IP address and takes full advantage of native modules. The official API is thoroughly optimized ⚡ and secure 🔐.

We use the MaxMind database in the geoip-lite2 module for our API. Due to certain limitations, the database is not updated daily (and never will be) by the module's developer. Updates are issued periodically.

💻 Locally

There is an alternative to this module that allows for local geolocation retrieval based on a specific IP address. However, this will increase the memory usage because the alternative module stores the MaxMind database in RAM.

📥 Installation

npm install geoip2-api

😎 Example

const geoIp = require('geoip2-api');

(async () => {
    const data = await geoIp.get('185.244.214.231');
    console.log(data);
});

✨ Output

  }
}

🌠 API Tip

If you want to get the client's geolocation, instead of providing an IP, use /api/v2/geoip/myip.
