This is a Javascript Wrapper for the IP Lookup API
Using npm:
npm install @apiverve/iplookup
Using yarn:
yarn add @apiverve/iplookup
Before using the IP Lookup API client, you have to setup your account and obtain your API Key. You can get it by signing up at https://apiverve.com
Get started with the Quick Start Guide
The IP Lookup API documentation is found here: https://docs.apiverve.com/ref/iplookup. You can find parameters, example responses, and status codes documented here.
const iplookupAPI = require('@apiverve/iplookup');
const api = new iplookupAPI({
api_key: '[YOUR_API_KEY]'
});
Using the API is simple. All you have to do is make a request. The API will return a response with the data you requested.
var query = {
ip: "173.172.81.20"
};
api.execute(query, function (error, data) {
if (error) {
return console.error(error);
} else {
console.log(data);
}
});
You can also use promises to make requests. The API returns a promise that you can use to handle the response.
var query = {
ip: "173.172.81.20"
};
api.execute(query)
.then(data => {
console.log(data);
})
.catch(error => {
console.error(error);
});
You can also use async/await to make requests. The API returns a promise that you can use to handle the response.
async function makeRequest() {
var query = {
ip: "173.172.81.20"
};
try {
const data = await api.execute(query);
console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
}
