ipgeo

A CLI tool that finds the location of IP addresses. Built to demonstrate my library ipgeolocate.

With ipgeo you can get the location for an IP address or a DNS address and do lookups for both of them to get data on the ip, latitude, longitude, city, region, country, timezone, method, and a reverse DNS address.

ipgeo was made to work within scripts, so you can use the --silent tag to print information without any extra fluff so it's easier to parse.

ipgeo offers different methods to get information about IP addresses, and each has their own benefits. By default, ip-api.com is used because it gives accurate results and only limits requests by the minute and not by the day, week, or month.

Install it by simply doing
