ip2location.io GeoLocation API

See more Geolocation Examples

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

# Note: This is not a real API key.  Replace with your own...
http.SetUrlVar("api_key","2C312FBC9E667E5A0211F5152E5A1333")
http.SetUrlVar("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..
jsonStr = http.quickGetStr("https://api.ip2location.io/?key={$api_key}&ip={$ip_address}&format=json")
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";
