Basic example of using this method:
await BulkLookup({
key: 'your-api-key',
ips: ['1.1.1.1', '2.2.2.2']
})
.then(res => {
console.log(res);
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(error);
});
Description:
This method accepts one parameter of type
Object. The Object contains the options you want to specify for this method. Let's dive into this:Let's say that we want to retrieve the location information of the IP Addresses and also the timezone and security threats information. So the code will be like this:
await BulkLookup({
key: 'your-api-key',
ips: ['1.1.1.1', '2.2.2.2'],
params: ['timezone', 'security']
})
.then(res => {
console.log(res);
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(error);
});
Beside this, we can inform the module to return the response as
XML:await BulkLookup({
key: 'your-api-key',
ips: ['1.1.1.1', '2.2.2.2'],
params: ['timezone', 'security'],
format: 'XML'
})
.then(res => {
console.log(res);
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(error);
});
And so on...
The
.then() will return the response if it's successfully fetched and the .catch() will return the error if something goes wrong.If the request completed successfully, so the
res variable of .then() returns the data in the format you specified. And we can read the data like this:await BulkLookup({
key: 'your-api-key',
ips: ['1.1.1.1', '2.2.2.2'],
params: ['timezone', 'security']
})
.then(res => {
console.log(res?.data);
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(error);
});
