IPinfo IPinfo NodeJS Client Library

This is the official NodeJS client library for the IPinfo.io IP address API, allowing you to lookup your own IP address, or get any of the following details for an IP:

  • IP geolocation (city, region, country, postal code, latitude and longitude)
  • ASN details (ISP or network operator, associated domain name, and type, such as business, hosting or company)
  • Company details (the name and domain of the business that uses the IP address)
  • Carrier details (the name of the mobile carrier and MNC and MCC for that carrier if the IP is used exclusively for mobile traffic)

Works with ES5, ES6+ and TypeScript.

Getting Started

You'll need an IPinfo API access token, which you can get by signing up for a free account at https://ipinfo.io/signup.

The free plan is limited to 50,000 requests per month, and doesn't include some of the data fields such as IP type and company data. To enable all the data fields and additional request volumes see https://ipinfo.io/pricing.

Installation

npm install node-ipinfo

Usage

TypeScript

import IPinfoWrapper from "node-ipinfo";

const token = "myToken"
const ip = "8.8.8.8";
const asn = "AS7922";
const ipinfoWrapper = new IPinfoWrapper(token);

ipinfoWrapper.lookupIp(ip).then((response: IPinfo) => {
    console.log(response.asn); // { asn: 'AS15169', name: 'Google LLC', domain: 'google.com', route: '8.8.8.0/24', type: 'hosting' }
    console.log(response.hostname); // google-public-dns-a.google.com
    console.log(response.city); // Mountain View
});

ipinfoWrapper.lookupASN(asn).then((response: ASNResponse) => {
    console.log(response.asn); // AS7922
    console.log(response.name); // Comcast Cable Communications, LLC
    console.log(response.country); // United States
});

JavaScript

var IPinfo = require("node-ipinfo");

var token = "myToken"
var ip = "8.8.8.8"
var asn = "AS7922";
var ipinfo = new IPinfo(token);

ipinfo.lookupIp(ip).then((response) => {
    console.log(response.asn); // { asn: 'AS15169', name: 'Google LLC', domain: 'google.com', route: '8.8.8.0/24', type: 'hosting' }
    console.log(response.hostname); // google-public-dns-a.google.com
    console.log(response.city); // Mountain View
});

ipinfo.lookupASN(asn).then((response) => {
    console.log(response.asn); // AS7922
    console.log(response.name); // Comcast Cable Communications, LLC
    console.log(response.country); // United States
});

AMD

define(function(require,exports,module){
  var ipinfo = require('node-ipinfo');
});

Caching

This library uses an LRU cache (deletes the least-recently-used items).

If you prefer a different caching methodology, you may use the IPCache interface through TypeScript and implement your own caching system around your own infrastructure.

The default cache length is 1 day and the defauly max number of items allowed in the cache is 5000. This can be changed by passing an Option to the LruCache constructor.

TypeScript
import IPinfoWrapper, { LruCache, Options } from "node-ipinfo";

const cacheOptions: Options = {
    max: 5000,
    maxAge: 24 * 1000 * 60 * 60,
};
var cache = new LruCache(cacheOptions);
var ipinfoWrapper = new IPinfoWrapper("token", cacheOptions);
JavaScript
var IPinfo = require("node-ipinfo");

var cacheOptions = {
    max: 5000,
    maxAge: 24 * 1000 * 60 * 60,
};
var cache = new IPinfo.LruCache(cacheOptions);
var ipinfo = new IPinfo("myToken", cache);
