Demonstrates how to lookup Geolocation data for an IPv4 address using the api.db-ip.com REST API. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

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

http = Chilkat::CkHttp.new()

# Lookup an IPv4 address: 149.250.207.170  (this was a randomly chosen address)
jsonStr = http.quickGetStr("http://api.db-ip.com/v2/free/149.250.207.170")
if (http.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false)
    print http.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

json = Chilkat::CkJsonObject.new()
json.put_EmitCompact(false)
success = json.Load(jsonStr)

print json.emit() + "\n";
