ipwhere - query an IP address geographical location
Project description
ipwhere
IP geo location command line tool (relies on 3rd-party to provide actual location).
The current supported provider for ipwhere is IP2Location.io - a future version will use a free service or list.
API key required
The program uses IP2Location for resolving locations. They provide a free service, just ask you to register so that they can give you a unique API key.
The API key is defined as an environment variable:
IPWHERE_API_KEY=your-API-key-here
ipwhere won't start if the environment variable isn't defined.
Getting an IP2Location API Key
Head to http://www.ip2location.io, sign up to the service and follow the instructions. API keys are free for the first 30,000 requests. They take up to 10 minutes to be activated.
Query Frequency
IP2Location is a free service, but require that API requests are spaced about 2 seconds apart to lighten their server load. If possible, use local caching as well.
ipwhere makes a single query per call, so no attempt at pacing is done in this implementation.
