iploc

Reverse geocoding of IP addresses -- find where that IP comes from!

Usage

iploc is a very straightforward utility: give it an IP address and will return as many information as possible regarding its geographical location:

iploc 12.34.56.78
{"as":"AS7018 AT\u0026T Services, Inc.","city":"Columbus","country":"United States","countryCode":"US","isp":"AT\u0026T Services","lat":39.9653,"lon":-83.0235,"org":"AT\u0026T Services","query":"12.34.56.78","region":"OH","regionName":"Ohio","status":"success","timezone":"America/New_York","zip":"43215"}

It provides a very simple pretty-print option:

iploc 12.34.56.78 -p
{
    "as": "AS7018 AT\u0026T Services, Inc.",
    "city": "Columbus",
    "country": "United States",
    "countryCode": "US",
    "isp": "AT\u0026T Services",
    "lat": 39.9653,
    "lon": -83.0235,
    "org": "AT\u0026T Services",
    "query": "12.34.56.78",
    "region": "OH",
    "regionName": "Ohio",
    "status": "success",
    "timezone": "America/New_York",
    "zip": "43215"
}

...but you're much better off with jq:

iploc 12.34.56.78 | jq -r .city
Columbus

Tests

Development

For development with Go, I usually use a local docker container -- here's what I do:

• make build creates the container
• make gets in the container
• go run main.go and have fun with the app

Once you're done, you can test binaries with make release.
