🗺️ GeoIP Lite 2: API Wrapper

This documentation provides information about the lightweight Node.js module designed for sending requests to a geolocation data API. This module enables you to retrieve location information for a specified IP address and takes full advantage of native modules. The official API is thoroughly optimized ⚡ and secure 🔐.

We use the MaxMind database in the geoip-lite2 module for our API. Due to certain limitations, the database is not updated daily (and never will be) by the module's developer. Updates are issued periodically.

There is an alternative to this module that allows for local geolocation retrieval based on a specific IP address. However, this will increase the memory usage because the alternative module stores the MaxMind database in RAM.

geoip-lite2 on npm

npm install geoip2-api

const geoIp = require('geoip2-api');

(async () => {
    const data = await geoIp.get('185.244.214.231');
    console.log(data);
});

  "success": true,
