node-geoip2-client

Node.js client for its Restify server counterpart: node-geoip2-api. This module is best used in conjunction with its counterpart. It prevents the developer from constructing API requests manually.

Installation

npm install node-geoip2-client --save

Instantiation

Create a new GeoIP2 API instance by calling the constructor.

var Client = require('node-geoip2-client')
  , client = new Client({
      host: '129.123.237.21',         // defaults to localhost
      protocol: 'https',              // defaults to http
      port: '443',                    // defaults to 8082
      timeout: 1E3                    // defaults to 5000 ms
    });

API

client.get

• ip: {String} required query database by IP.
• callback: {Function} required Completion callback.

client.get('172.213.123.21', function (error, result) {
  console.log(result);                // results parsed as JSON
