Ipdata for Laravel

Laravel wrapper for the kielabokkie/ipdata-php package which retrieves IP address information the using the ipdata.co API.

Prerequisites

Ipdata has a free plan that allows you to make 1,500 requests per day and paid plans if you need more than that. All plans need an API key and you'll have to register on their website to get one.

Installation

Install the package via composer:

composer require kielabokkie/laravel-ipdata

If you are on Laravel 5.4 or lower or don't use Laravel's auto discovery, you should add the following to your config/app.php:

'providers' => [
    // ...
    Kielabokkie\LaravelIpdata\IpdataServiceProvider::class,
]

'aliases' => [
    // ...
    'Ipdata' => Kielabokkie\LaravelIpdata\Facades\Ipdata::class,
)

Config

Add the following to your config/services.php file:

// ...
'ipdata' => [
    'api_key' => env('IPDATA_API_KEY'),
],

Update your .env file and enter the API key you got from Ipdata:

IPDATA_API_KEY=youkeyhere

Usage

Lookup of the calling IP address

use Kielabokkie\LaravelIpdata\Facades\Ipdata;

$res = Ipdata::lookup();

Lookup a specific IP address

use Kielabokkie\LaravelIpdata\Facades\Ipdata;

$res = Ipdata::lookup('1.1.1.1');

The Ipdata API will return the following data:

{
  "ip": "1.1.1.1",
  "is_eu": false,
  "city": "Research",
  "region": "Victoria",
  "region_code": "VIC",
  "country_name": "Australia",
  "country_code": "AU",
  "continent_name": "Oceania",
  "continent_code": "OC",
  "latitude": -37.7,
  "longitude": 145.1833,
  "asn": "AS13335",
  "organisation": "Cloudflare Inc",
  "postal": "3095",
  "calling_code": "61",
  "flag": "https://ipdata.co/flags/au.png",
  "emoji_flag": "🇦🇺",
  "emoji_unicode": "U+1F1E6 U+1F1FA",
  "languages": [
    {
      "name": "English",
      "native": "English"
    }
  ],
  "currency": {
    "name": "Australian Dollar",
    "code": "AUD",
    "symbol": "AU$",
    "native": "$",
    "plural": "Australian dollars"
  },
  "time_zone": {
    "name": "Australia/Melbourne",
    "abbr": "AEST",
    "offset": "+1000",
    "is_dst": false,
    "current_time": "2018-06-20T11:41:23.068040+10:00"
  },
  "threat": {
    "is_tor": false,
    "is_proxy": false,
    "is_anonymous": false,
    "is_known_attacker": false,
    "is_known_abuser": false,
    "is_threat": false,
    "is_bogon": false
  }
}

This library will run the response through a json_decode giving you an easy object to work with, for example:

echo $res->country_name; // Australia
echo $res->flag; // https://ipdata.co/flags/au.png
