A Clojure library to interact with the MaxMind free GeoLite City databases. That's a fancy way of saying that if you pass it an IP address, it will give you location data back.
This product includes GeoLite data created by MaxMind, available from http://www.maxmind.com
To use this library, you first need to download a copy of the GeoLite City database from MaxMind. It is currently being updated once a month, so you may periodicly want to fetch a new version. A code sample should tell the rest of the story.
(ns my.ns
(:require [contessa.core :as geo]))
(defn lookup-ip-address []
(let [db (geo/build-database "/path/to/GeoLiteCity.dat")]
(prn (geo/lookup-ip db "98.101.166.2"))))
(lookup-ip-address)
