IP2Location.io Node.js SDK

This Node.js module enables user to query for an enriched data set, such as country, region, district, city, latitude & longitude, ZIP code, time zone, ASN, ISP, domain, net speed, IDD code, area code, weather station data, MNC, MCC, mobile brand, elevation, usage type, address type, advertisement category and proxy data with an IP address. It supports both IPv4 and IPv6 address lookup.

In addition, this module provides WHOIS lookup api that helps users to obtain domain information, WHOIS record, by using a domain name. The WHOIS API returns a comprehensive WHOIS data such as creation date, updated date, expiration date, domain age, the contact information of the registrant, mailing address, phone number, email address, nameservers the domain is using and much more.

This module requires API key to function. You may sign up for a free API key at https://www.ip2location.io/pricing.

Installation

npm install ip2location-io-nodejs

Usage Example

Lookup IP Address Geolocation Data

import ip2locationio from "ip2location-io-nodejs";

// Configures IP2Location.io API key
let mykey = "YOUR_API_KEY";
let config = new ip2locationio.Configuration(mykey);

let ipl = new ip2locationio.IPGeolocation(config);

let myip = "8.8.8.8";
let lang = "en"; // language parameter is only available for Plus and Security plans

// Lookup ip address geolocation data
ipl.lookup(myip, lang)
  .then((data) => {
    // print the data in json format
    console.log(data)
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // print the error
    console.log(error)
  });

Lookup Domain Information

import ip2locationio from "ip2location-io-nodejs";

// Configures IP2Location.io API key
let mykey = "YOUR_API_KEY";
let config = new ip2locationio.Configuration(mykey);

let whois = new ip2locationio.DomainWhois(config);

let mydomain = "locaproxy.com";

// Lookup domain information
whois.lookup(mydomain)
  .then((data) => {
    // print the data in json format
    console.log(data)
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // print the error
    console.log(error)
  });

Convert Normal Text to Punycode

import ip2locationio from "ip2location-io-nodejs";

let config = new ip2locationio.Configuration();
let whois = new ip2locationio.DomainWhois(config);

// Convert normal text to punycode
console.log(whois.getPunycode("täst.de"));

Convert Punycode to Normal Text

import ip2locationio from "ip2location-io-nodejs";

let config = new ip2locationio.Configuration();
let whois = new ip2locationio.DomainWhois(config);

// Convert punycode to normal text
console.log(whois.getNormalText("xn--tst-qla.de"));

Get Domain Name

import ip2locationio from "ip2location-io-nodejs";

let config = new ip2locationio.Configuration();
let whois = new ip2locationio.DomainWhois(config);

// Get domain name from URL
console.log(whois.getDomainName("https://www.example.com/exe"));

Get Domain Extension

import ip2locationio from "ip2location-io-nodejs";

let config = new ip2locationio.Configuration();
let whois = new ip2locationio.DomainWhois(config);

// Get domain extension (gTLD or ccTLD) from URL or domain name
console.log(whois.getDomainExtension("example.com"));
