For example, if you're running the server locally then opening http://localhost:3334/ip/1.2.3.4 in your browser will return some JSON that looks something like this:
{
"city": {
"geoname_id": 2077456,
"names": {

}
},
"continent": {
"code": "OC",

}
},
"country": {
"geoname_id": 0,
"iso_code": "AU",
