node-ip details

node-ip-details is an lightweight fast node package to find full details of any ip address. It is perfect to use when wanting to block requests from certain countries ip addresses, tracking if the request has came from a proxy or not, finding out the internet provider for the ip address and finding full geolocation details for the ip.

super simple to use

node-ip-details has been designed to be the simplest way possible to retrieve full details of any ip address or ip addresses.

initialise the ip details module

The node-ip-details package uses classes which contain a contructor which is dependate on a config supplied (see below for details on the config). This then allows the developer to initialise the class and then use it throughout without having to supply the same details constantly. If you want to use it for another ip or ips you need to reinitialise the class.

single ip address

// import that library
const ipdetails = require("node-ip-details");
// initilise the class with the config details
const ipInitialised = ipdetails.initialise({ip: "1.1.1.1"});

multiple ip addresses, you can request a maximum of 100 in each request

// import that library
const ipdetails = require("node-ip-details");
// initilise the class with the config details
const ipInitialised = ipdetails.initialise({ips: ["1.1.1.1", "8.8.8.8"]});

once initialised you can use all the functions which are explained below.

config

{
    ip: "this is the ip address you want to get the details about. It does not need to be supplied if `ips` is used.",
    ips "this is an array of ips you want to get the details about. It does not need to be supplied if `ip` is used."
}

provider

To get all the information for the ip address this packages uses a free provider called "ip-api". They allow the use of there packages for non-commercial use. Look at there usage limits below to see the criteria of using this package:

usage limits

ip-api system will automatically ban any IP addresses doing over 150 requests per minute. To unban your IP click here.

You are free to use ip-api.com for non-commercial use. They do not allow commercial use without prior approval.

For commercial, unlimited use see there pro service (this is very cheap and you can get unlimited API calls for 13$ a month).

it is down to the user of the package to use this within the terms of the above.

disclaimer

ip addresses can be faked with VPN and proxies, the package will give you the most update to date information it has on the ip address which is provided but this ip could of been vpn to fake location etc.

ip addresses can be made private so any private ips will not return any data about them.
