geo.ipify.org IPv4 Geolocation Lookup

See more Geolocation Examples

Demonstrates how to lookup Geolocation data for an IPv4 address using the geo.ipify.org REST 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()

-- Lookup an IPv4 address: 8.8.8.8
local jsonStr = http:quick_get_str("https://geo.ipify.org/api/v1?apiKey=API_KEY&ipAddress=8.8.8.8")
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())
