npm install ip-to-hosting
If you want to clone the repository directly from GitHub instead:
git clone git@github.com:ipapi-is/ip_to_asn.git
Lookup the IP address 144.168.164.55:
const { ipToHosting } = require('./src/ip_to_hosting');
(async () => {
console.log(await ipToHosting('144.168.164.55'));
})();
which outputs (at the time of writing):
{
datacenter: 'B2 Net Solutions Inc.',
domain: 'www.servermania.com',
network: '144.168.128.0 - 144.168.255.255'
}
If the IP address belongs to a datacenter/hosting provider, the API response will return an object with the following attributes:
datacenter - string - to which datacenter the IP address belongs. For a full list of datacenters, check the ipapi.is/json/info endpoint. In this case, the datacenter's name is B2 Net Solutions Inc..domain - string - The domain name of the companynetwork - string - the network this IP address belongs to (In the above case: 144.168.128.0 - 144.168.255.255)Most IP's don't belong to a hosting provider. In those cases, the response will be null.
