Sample Codes#
Query geolocation information from BIN database#
You can query the geolocation information from the IP2Location BIN database as below:
library(ip2location)
ip2location::open("IP-COUNTRY-REGION-CITY-LATITUDE-LONGITUDE-ZIPCODE-TIMEZONE-ISP-DOMAIN-NETSPEED-AREACODE-WEATHER-MOBILE-ELEVATION-USAGETYPE-ADDRESSTYPE-CATEGORY-DISTRICT-ASN-SAMPLE.BIN")
result = ip2location::get_all("8.8.8.8")
print(result)
Plot IP addresses on the map#
To plot IP addresses on the map, use the open and plot_map functions like this:
ip2location::open("~/IP-COUNTRY-REGION-CITY-LATITUDE-LONGITUDE-ZIPCODE-TIMEZONE-ISP-DOMAIN-NETSPEED-AREACODE-WEATHER-MOBILE-ELEVATION-USAGETYPE-SAMPLE.BIN")
ip2location::plot_map(c('8.8.8.8','8.8.6.6'))
