MaxMind IPv4 Geolocation Lookup

See more Geolocation Examples

Demonstrates how to lookup Geolocation data for an IPv4 address using the MaxMind GeoIP2 Precision Web Service. 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()

http.put_Login("MAXMIND_ACCOUNT_ID")
http.put_Password("MAXMIND_LICENSE_KEY")
http.put_Accept("application/json")

# Lookup an IPv4 address: 149.250.207.170  (this was a randomly chosen address)
jsonStr = http.quickGetStr("https://geoip.maxmind.com/geoip/v2.1/country/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";
