If you want to clone the repository directly from GitHub instead:
git clone [email protected]:ipapi-is/ip_to_location.git
Usage from Node.js
If you want to lookup the IP address 144.168.164.55
:
const { ipToGeolocation } = require('location-from-ip');
const ipAddresses = [
'144.168.164.55',
'167.99.241.66',
'97.107.129.77',
'85.10.199.76',
];
for (let ip of ipAddresses) {
ipToGeolocation(ip).then(function (location) {
console.log(`${ip} geolocation:`);
console.log(location);
});
}
which yields:

Use the Database Directly
This package uses the ipapi.is geolocation database in order to avoid shipping a huge database in the npm module. If you have a large volume of IP addresses to lookup, you can download the full & free Geolocation Database.
