Usage

const device = require('device-ip-location');

app.enable('trust proxy');
 
// Within your API function use your request data (req) to access the required parameters (ip and header)
// Example agent - 'Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 5.0; NX505J Build/KVT49L) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/43.0.2357.78 Mobile Safari/537.36';
