ip2location.io GeoLocation API

See more Geolocation Examples

Demonstrates how to lookup Geolocation data for an IPv4 address using the ip2location.io GeoLocation API. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

-- This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
-- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

local http = chilkat.Http.new()

-- Note: This is not a real API key.  Replace with your own...
http:set_url_var("api_key", "2C312FBC9E667E5A0211F5152E5A1333")
http:set_url_var("ip_address", "8.8.8.8")

-- Note: When first creating an ip2location.io account, make sure to at least subscribe to the free access.
-- Otherwise your API key will not yet work..
local jsonStr = http:quick_get_str("https://api.ip2location.io/?key={$api_key}&ip={$ip_address}&format=json")
if not http.last_method_success then
    print(http.last_error_text)
    return
end

local json = chilkat.JsonObject.new()
json.emit_compact = false
local success = json:load(jsonStr)

print(json:emit())
