DUS IP Geolocation Node Client

dus-ip-geolocation-node-client is a Node.js client for interacting with the D.U.S IP GeoLocator Server, a self-hosted solution for IP geolocation. The server uses WHOIS databases from sources like RIPE, APNIC, and others to provide accurate and reliable IP-based geolocation information.

Installation

You can install the package via npm:

npm install dus-ip-geolocation-node-client

Usage

Here are some examples of how to use the client to retrieve geolocation information for one or more IP addresses.

Basic Usage Example (JavaScript)

const DUSIpGeolocationNodeClient = require('dus-ip-geolocation-node-client');

(async () => {
    const client = new DUSIpGeolocationNodeClient("http://0.0.0.0:5000/");

    // Example 1: Get geolocation for a single IP
    const ip = "199.232.38.73";
    const result = await client.getGeolocationByIp(ip);
    console.log(result);

    // Example 2: Get geolocation for multiple IPs
    const ips2 = [
        "17.248.145.105",
        "216.58.209.42",
        "18.198.146.59",
        "2a03:2880:f203:c5:face:b00c:0:167"
    ];
    const result2 = await client.geolocateMultipleIps(ips2);
    console.log(result2);

})().catch((error) => {
    console.log(error);
    process.exit(1);
});

Basic Usage Example (TypeScript)

If you're using TypeScript, you can import and use the client as follows:

import DUSIpGeolocationNodeClient from 'dus-ip-geolocation-node-client';

(async () => {
    const client = new DUSIpGeolocationNodeClient("http://0.0.0.0:5000/");

    // Example 1: Get geolocation for a single IP
    const ip = "199.232.38.73";
    const result = await client.getGeolocationByIp(ip);
    console.log(result);

    // Example 2: Get geolocation for multiple IPs
    const ips2 = [
        "17.248.145.105",
        "216.58.209.42",
        "18.198.146.59",
        "2a03:2880:f203:c5:face:b00c:0:167"
    ];
    const result2 = await client.geolocateMultipleIps(ips2);
    console.log(result2);

})().catch((error) => {
    console.log(error);
    process.exit(1);
});
