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 🙏

Get Location from IP using multiple API

Currently using 3 API to get location of the IP.

IP_LOCATE ==> This api provides 1000 free requests everyday.

IP_API ==> This api provides 1000 free requests everyday.

IP_STACK ==> This api provides 10,000 free requests per month. (Note: *Requires API KEY)

Using the API's in the above order itself, we will first try to get Location from IP_LOCATE then IP_API and then IP_STACK. By default, until we get the details all 3 api will be requested. We may restrict to one of the API or change the order as required. This will work in fall back mechanism.

Installation

npm install location-please

Sending a simple request

Function will automatically try the API & get you the all the possible data from the api.

const LocationPlease = require('location-please')

LocationPlease.get_details({
    ip: "8.8.8.8"
}).then((result) => {
    console.log("Result: ", result.data)
}).catch((error) => {
    console.error("ERROR: ", error)
})

Sending a simple request with changed priority.

Function will automatically try the API & get you the all the required data from the api.

const LocationPlease = require('location-please')

LocationPlease.get_details({
    ip: "8.8.8.8",
 	priorities: ["IP_API", "IP_LOCATE"]

}).then((result) => {
    console.log("Result: ", result.data)
}).catch((error) => {
    console.error("ERROR: ", error)
})

So in the above code, first "IP_API" will be requested, if it fails "IP_LOCATE" will be reuqested & if it fails "IP_STACK" will be requested.

Sending a simple request with only required data

Function will automatically try the API & get you the all the required data from the api.

const LocationPlease = require('location-please')

LocationPlease.get_details({
    ip: "8.8.8.8",
 	data_needed: {
 		city: 1,
 		country: 1,
 		latitude: 1,
 		longitude: 1,
 		country_code: 1,
 	},
 	priorities: ["IP_API"]

}).then((result) => {
    console.log("Result: ", result.data)
}).catch((error) => {
    console.error("ERROR: ", error)
})

Sending a simple request using only 1 API && No fallback mechanisms.

Function will automatically try the API & get you the all the required data from the api.

const LocationPlease = require('location-please')

LocationPlease.get_details({
    ip: "8.8.8.8",
 	data_needed: {
 		city: 1,
 		country: 1,
 		latitude: 1,
 		longitude: 1,
 		country_code: 1,
 	},
 	priorities: ["IP_API"],
    only_priority: true

}).then((result) => {
    console.log("Result: ", result.data)
}).catch((error) => {
    console.error("ERROR: ", error)
})

In this case, if "IP_API" fails, no fallback api will be used.

Sending a simple request using API key.

Function will automatically try the API & get you the all the required data from the api.

const LocationPlease = require('location-please')

LocationPlease.get_details({
    ip: "8.8.8.8",
 	data_needed: {
 		city: 1,
 		country: 1,
 		latitude: 1,
 		longitude: 1,
 		country_code: 1,
 	},
	api_keys: {
		IP_LOCATE: <string>,  // Not required for free tier.
		IP_API: <string>,     // Not required for free tier.
		IP_STACK: <string>    // REQUIRED for free tier.
	}

}).then((result) => {
    console.log("Result: ", result.data)
}).catch((error) => {
    console.error("ERROR: ", error)
})
