Ruby GeoIP2 Bindings

Description

Searches city by ip address in local database from maxmind.com.

Use it with rails. For now, I think.

Installation

libmaxminddb must be installed.

gem 'geoip2', github: 'da4nik/geoip2'

Usage

Configuration, can be moved to rails initializer

GeoIP2::file '<local_db_file.mmdb>' # default: GeoLite2-City.mmdb
GeoIP2::locale 'ru' # default: 'ru'

Further usage:

Returns nil if nothing found and raises exception if file not opened or not found

city = GeoIP2::locate(<ip address>, <optional lang>)

city = GeoIP2::locate '77.93.127.33'
=> {"city"=>"Тамбов",
 "country"=>"Россия",
 "country_code"=>"RU",
 "continent"=>"Европа",
 "latitude"=>52.731700000000004,
 "longitude"=>41.4433}
