Geocode an IP address? [closed]

问题

Does anyone know of any open RESTful API that I can call to geocode a user's IP to the latitude and longitude?

Ideally, it would be something like: http://google.com/geocode_api/?IP=1.2.3.4 and it would return the latitude and longtitude.

回答1:

Another free REST API with city accurate information would be http://freegeoip.net Requests are fairly straight forward. You would use something like

http://freegeoip.net/{format}/{ip_or_hostname}

to geocode an IP address, where format can be csv, xml or json. Their website has all the details.

[UPDATE:] FreeGeoIP.net was not continuously available in the past as a public service. The software was, however, always open source and is available on Github. It's fairly easy to get your local installation running using Docker, if you need a highly reliable service or your use case exceeds the current quota of 15.000 requests/hour.

Here's a couple with simple calls...

http://ipinfodb.com/ip_query.php
http://freegeoip.appspot.com/

Example calls :-

http://freegeoip.appspot.com/xml/122.169.8.137
http://ipinfodb.com/ip_query.php?ip=122.169.8.137

Example of returned XML (ipinfodb) :-

<Response> 
  <Ip>122.169.8.137</Ip> 
  <Status>OK</Status> 
  <CountryCode>IN</CountryCode> 
  <CountryName>India</CountryName> 
  <RegionCode>10</RegionCode> 
  <RegionName>Haryana</RegionName> 
  <City>Kaul</City> 
  <ZipPostalCode></ZipPostalCode> 
  <Latitude>29.85</Latitude> 
  <Longitude>76.6667</Longitude> 
  <Timezone>0</Timezone> 
  <Gmtoffset>0</Gmtoffset> 
  <Dstoffset>0</Dstoffset> 
</Response>

You could use the google API: http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/documentation/#ClientLocation

Edit

Example:

<script type="text/javascript"
    src="http://www.google.com/jsapi?key=ABCDEFG"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load("maps", "2.x", {callback: initialize});

function initialize() {
  if (google.loader.ClientLocation) {
      var lat = google.loader.ClientLocation.latitude;
      var long = google.loader.ClientLocation.longitude;
      alert ("lat: " + lat + "\nlong: " + long);
   }
   else { alert ("not available"); }
 }

On my site I use http://ip-api.com/ for getting location from IP address. They have nice limits (up to 150 request per minute). Ipinfo.io is free only for less then 1000 requests per day.

This is sample output:

(
    [as] => AS8075 Microsoft Corporation
    [city] => Redmond
    [country] => United States
    [countryCode] => US
    [isp] => Microsoft bingbot
    [lat] => 47.674
    [lon] => -122.1215
    [org] => Microsoft bingbot
    [query] => 157.55.39.67
    [region] => WA
    [regionName] => Washington
    [status] => success
    [timezone] => America/Los_Angeles
    [zip] => 98052
)

This is PHP code you can use:

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$result = json_decode(file_get_contents("http://ip-api.com/json/{$ip}"));
//print_r ($result);
echo "{$result->lat},{$result->lon}";//48.156,17.142
