Basic example of using this method:
await GeoIP({
key: 'your-api-key',
}).then(res => {
console.log(res);
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(error);
});
Description:
This method accepts one parameter of type
Object. This 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 visitor information and also the timezone and device information. So the code will be like this:
await GeoIP({
key: 'your-api-key',
params: ['timezone', 'device']
})
.then(res => {
console.log(res);
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(error);
});
Beside this, we can inform the module to return the response as
XML:await GeoIP({
key: 'your-api-key',
params: ['timezone', 'device'],
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 GeoIP({
key: 'your-api-key',
params: ['timezone', 'device']
})
.then(res => {
console.log(res?.data?.ip);
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(error);
});
