Composer will help you manage the dependencies required to integrate with GeoLite2.
In the example above, MaxMind returns the coordinates 42.1293, -72.7522 with an accuracy radius of 100km. The actual location of the IP address is likely within the area defined by a circle with its center at the coordinates returned and a radius equal to the accuracy radius returned. To help you have a sense of how precise any given query return is, MaxMind provides an accuracy radius field in the response. IP geolocation is used to give you an idea of the region, sometimes down to the level of city or postal code, but it can’t pinpoint the source of an internet connection. Any location provided by a GeoIP database should not be used to identify a particular address or household. When MaxMind provides longitude and latitude, the coordinates provided are often near the center of the population.
#MAXMIND LOOKUP HOW TO#
We will learn how to easily upgrade to the paid GeoIP2 Precision City web service, for greater accuracy and unlimited queries (GeoLite2 web service users are limited to 1,000 queries per day).īefore we dive in, you should be aware that IP geolocation is inherently imprecise. In this blog post, we are going to review how to build a simple web page in PHP that uses GeoLite2 City.
You can compare accuracy of the GeoLite2 and GeoIP2 web services by selecting a country on the GeoIP2 City Accuracy page.
#MAXMIND LOOKUP FREE#
GeoLite2 is fully compatible with GeoIP2, using the same API and integration method, making it easy to switch between the free and paid services as your needs change. MaxMind offers such free web services, GeoLite2 City and GeoLite2 Country, which are comparable to, but less accurate than, MaxMind’s paid GeoIP2 Precision City and GeoIP2 Precision Country web services. IP geolocation services provide information about the geographic location of an IP address. In December MaxMind released the new GeoLite2 web services, an IP geolocation API available free of charge.
