Laravel wrapper for the kielabokkie/ipdata-php package which retrieves IP address information the using the ipdata.co API.
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.
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,
)
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
use Kielabokkie\LaravelIpdata\Facades\Ipdata;
$res = Ipdata::lookup();
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",

}
}
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
