vast-maxmind is a node wrapper for the maxmind GeoIP location service. It leverages the Maxmind C API which you should download and install from here before starting to use this module.
This first iteration is limited functionality
- Supports the City data: http://www.maxmind.com/app/geolitecity
- Only supports lookup by IP address. Named hosts and more features will likely come later (time permitting)
Please check out the tests folder for the demo.
var VastMaxmind = require('../build/Release/vastmaxmind').VastMaxmind,
vmm = new VastMaxmind('/usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoIPCity.dat'),
addr = "8.8.8.8";
var foo = vmm.location(addr, function(data) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(data) );
process.exit();
});
