NAME

Geo::IPinfo - The official Perl library for IPinfo.

VERSION

Version 2.0.0 - Included support for country names and caching.

SYNOPSIS

Geo::IP The official Perl library for IPinfo. IPinfo prides itself on being the most reliable, accurate, and in-depth source of IP address data available anywhere. We process terabytes of data to produce our custom IP geolocation, company, carrier and IP type data sets. You can visit our developer docs at https://ipinfo.io/developers.

A quick usage example:

    use Geo::IPinfo;

    $access_token = '123456789abc';
    $ipinfo = Geo::IPinfo->new($access_token);

    $ip_address = '216.239.36.21';
    $details = $ipinfo->info($ip_address);
    $city = $details->city; # Emeryville
    $loc = $details->loc; # 37.8342,-122.2900

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

new([token], [options])

Create an ipinfo object. The 'token' (string value) and 'options' (hash value) arguments are optional.

If 'token' is specified, then it's used to overcome the default non-commercial limitation of 1,000 request/day (For more details, see https://ipinfo.io/pricing)

if 'options' is specfied, the included values will allow control over cache policies and country name localization (For more details, see https://github.com/ipinfo/perl).

info(ip_address)

Returns a reference to a Details object containing all information related to the IP address. In case of errors, returns undef, the error message can be retrieved with the function 'error_msg()'

The values can be accessed with the named methods: ip, hostname, city, region, country, country_name, loc, latitude, longitude, postal, asn, company, carrier, and all.

geo(ip_address)

Returns a reference to an object containing only the geolocation related data. Returns undef in case of errors, the error message can be retrieved with the function 'error_msg'

It's usually faster than getting the full response using 'info()'

The values returned are: ip, loc, city, region, country

field(ip_address, field_name)

Returns a reference to an object containing only the field related data. Returns undef if the field is invalid

The possible values of 'field_name' are: ip, hostname, city, region, country, loc, org

error_msg( )

Returns a string containing the error message of the last operation, it returns an empty string if the last operation was successful
