infoip 0.1.8

Get visitor geoip information from the request.

GeoIp info for your visitors
============================

This simple plugin connects to the `infoip <https://www.infoip.io>`__
API and retrieves the geoip information for the current request/visitor.
It works based on view decorators and not middleware to prevent slowing
down your application with unnecessary data.

The plugin uses an external API which is battle-tested and
enterprise-ready to satisfy any number of requests. Our database is
refreshed every single day in order to respond with up-to-date
information. The API offers ``1000`` free requests every day with a
rate-limiter set at ``1rps`` (one request per second). If you find that
to be too restrictive please consider subscribing to a `premium
plan <https://www.infoip.io/pricing>`__

Supported frameworks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. Django

Quick start Django
------------------

1. Install the package from pip

``pip install infoip``

2. Import the view decorator and use it to decorate the view where you
need geoip info

.. code:: python

# django test view that simply prints the geoip data regarding the visitor

from infoip.django import infoip
from django.http import JsonResponse

@infoip
def index(request):
# will respond to the request with user info
# you can also use the geoip data in your views for custom processing:
# - request.infoip.country_long
# - request.infoip.country_short
# - ...
return JsonResponse(request.infoip)

3. Tweak the settings

1. (optional) Add your api key to your settings if you are a premium
subscriber of `infoip <https://www.infoip.io>`__

.. code:: python

INFOIP_API_KEY = "your-api-key"

2. (optional) Use ``https`` for communicating with our API (it uses
``http`` by default)

.. code:: python

INFOIP_USE_HTTPS = True
