Include emoji in response
Closed this issue ยท 2 comments
It'd be neet if country was also returned with a flag of the country.
True, this would be neat, and easy to implement as well!
On the other hand, it's really easy to get the emoji using a few lines of code, so do we really need this lib to do it for us? For example, in Python:
import flag # https://pypi.org/project/emoji-country-flag/
import requests
r = requests.get('https://geo.risk3sixty.com/me').json()
my_country_code = r['country']
my_flag = flag.flag(my_country_code)
print(f"I'm in Guatemala ({my_country_code}). Per geoapi, here's my flag: {my_flag}")
Running this script:
โ ~ python3 country_codes.py
I'm in Guatemala (GT). According to geoapi, here's my flag: ๐ฌ๐น
FWIW, reading the code, I see they get the IP via the NPM package, geoip-lite. This API simply serves the result of that library's lookup
method verbatim.
So if you wanted such a change, maybe it would be better to propose it in the geoip-lite repo! It can be found here: https://github.com/geoip-lite/node-geoip.
They don't even need to rely on some dependency (like I did in the Python code above). You can use such a library to generate your own map of country codes to emojis, like so:
โ ~ python3 country_codes.py

Two of these are broken, but that can be fixed manually but someone with (even more) time and dedication than me.
I hope this is helpful, love this API btw.
Fair point.
