Geoip2-api NPM

📝 Information

This documentation provides information about the lightweight Node.js module designed for sending requests to a geolocation data API. This module enables you to retrieve location information for a specified IP address and takes full advantage of native modules. The official API is thoroughly optimized ⚡ and secure 🔐.

We use the MaxMind database in the geoip-lite2 module for our API. Due to certain limitations, the database is not updated daily (and never will be) by the module's developer. Updates are issued periodically.

💻 Locally

There is an alternative to this module that allows for local geolocation retrieval based on a specific IP address. However, this will increase the memory usage because the alternative module stores the MaxMind database in RAM.
