Demo

This project is also hosted publicly on https://ipinfo.tw, feel free to give it a try!

Please note that for response integrity and privacy concerns, this demo is behind an reverse proxy with https enabled, which is not part of this project. http traffic will be redirected to use https to establish the connection, in case the plaintext data being sniffed/intercepted.

Usage

Deploy to DigitalOcean

You can now directly deploy ipinfo.tw project on DigitalOcean App Platform using the deploy button:

On DigitalOcean App Platform, we use the HTTP header DO-Connecting-IP as client's IP address, for more technical details, check the DigitalOceanAppPlatform branch.

Server side

Run the server daemon via docker:

docker run -d --name ipinfo.tw -p 80:8080 peterdavehello/ipinfo.tw:latest

If you want to put this container behind reverse proxy, set up an X-Real-IP header and pass the it to the container, so that it can use the header as the IP of the client.

Client side

Use any http(s) client to explore the server, e.g. https://ipinfo.tw,

wget -qO- https://ipinfo.tw
curl https://ipinfo.tw

Without any specified URI, the server will return IP address, country, AS, and user agent.

If you prefer to receive a machine-readable result, use path /json (without trailing slash), e.g. https://ipinfo.tw/json, the result will look like:

{"ip":"3.115.123.234","country_code":"JP","country_name":"Japan","asn":"16509","as_desc":"Amazon.com, Inc.","user_agent":"curl/7.58.0"}

Endpoints

You can also specify the following URI to retrieve certain info:

ip: IP address
country: Country code and name
country_code: Country code
country_name: Country name
as: AS number and description
asn: AS number
as_desc: AS description
user_agent: User agent string

Examples:

$ wget -qO- https://ipinfo.tw
157.230.195.167
SG / Singapore
AS14061 / DigitalOcean, LLC
Wget/1.17.1 (linux-gnu)

$ curl https://ipinfo.tw/ip
18.179.200.1

$ curl https://ipinfo.tw/country
TW / Taiwan

$ curl https://ipinfo.tw/country_code
HK

$ curl https://ipinfo.tw/country_name
South Korea

$ curl https://ipinfo.tw/as
AS16509 / Amazon.com, Inc.

$ curl https://ipinfo.tw/as
AS8075 / Microsoft Corporation

$ curl https://ipinfo.tw/asn
15169

$ curl https://ipinfo.tw/as_desc
Google LLC

$ wget -qO- https://ipinfo.tw/user_agent
Wget

Database build time endpoint

There is a special endpoint - /build_epoch, which will return a json object that contains two unsigned 64-bit integers of the database build timestamp as the Unix epoch value.

The response of /build_epoch will be look like:

{"GeoLite2-Country":"1655395486","GeoLite2-ASN":"1655730848"}

As mentioned above, on the demo domain - ipinfo.tw, if https:// is not specified in the URL, connection will be redirected from http to https, in this case, curl will need an additional parameter: -L/--location to follow location redirection.

Build

If you want to build your own image, instead of directly pull the pre-built one, clone this repository, and run docker build command, with build-arg MAXMIND_LICENSE_KEY, you need to provide your own MaxMind license key from https://www.maxmind.com/en/account, it's free.

$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/PeterDaveHello/ipinfo.tw
$ cd ipinfo.tw
$ docker build --build-arg MAXMIND_LICENSE_KEY="$MY_MAXMIND_KEY" -t ipinfo.tw:custom-build .
