Example

To resolve 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1. The jq tool isn't a requirement, but is a great utility for formatting and querying any JSON data.

$ chickadee 8.8.8.8,1.1.1.1 | jq '.'
{
  "as": "AS15169 Google LLC",
  "city": "Ashburn",
  "country": "United States",
  "district": "",
  "lat": 39.0438,
  "lon": -77.4874,
  "mobile": false,
  "org": "Google Inc.",
  "proxy": false,
  "query": "8.8.8.8",
  "regionName": "Virginia",
  "zip": "20149"
}
{
  "as": "AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.",
  "city": "Sydney",
  "country": "Australia",
  "district": "",
  "lat": -33.8688,
  "lon": 151.209,
  "mobile": false,
  "org": "",
  "proxy": false,
  "query": "1.1.1.1",
  "regionName": "New South Wales",
  "zip": "1001"
}

Example of using the custom fields. Available field names are at: http://ip-api.com/docs/api:json

$ chickadee 8.8.8.8,1.1.1.1 -t jsonl -f as,proxy
{"as": "AS15169 Google LLC", "proxy": false}
