Internet Protocol addresses, in short IP addresses are the numeric addresses assigned to computers in a network to recognise them. These are used to track the location of a computer in a network. Webmasters and site owners always deal with IP addresses. Although there are some sites available in internet for IP look up, we have created this one click solution to get the location of an IP.
How this works ?
The heart of this bookmarklet is http://ip-api.com/json/<your ip address goes here> API. Just append the ip address in the API and hit in your browser, that's it. You will get the response in JSON format. For more details about API visit http://ip-api.com/docs/api:json. By using this API we have created a bookmarklet.
Bonus tips: To know your current IP location you can hit http://ip-api.com/json in your browser. Simply bookmark this url and the next time you need your own IP this will help.
The parameter which the API will return after a successful request are :
- AS
- CITY

- LAT
- LON
- ORG
- QUERY
