Code snippet ?

[timconsidine]

GeoIP is very interesting to run some checks on visitor location (to deliver customised content).

Just wondering if there is a code snippet to extract the country from the results returned.

@timconsidine Since the output from the api is just json encoded you can take the output in a variable and parse it:

this example is PHP of course:

<?php

//google.com IP for mid-west US:
$ip = "142.251.32.14";

//Get string from API URL then convert the json output to PHP obj
$geoip = file_get_contents("https://geoip.example.com/json?ip=$ip");
$geoip = json_decode($geoip, true);

//Output Country in string:
echo "The registered country of the IP $ip is ".$geoip['registered_country']['names']['en']."\r\n";
echo "Also, you can grab the country name via ['country']['names']['en']: ".$geoip['country']['names']['en']."\r\n";
?>
