How to geolocate an IP in Node.js

To find the location of an IP address, first we need to add the library to our package.json:

"dependencies": {
    "cloudmersive-validate-api-client": "^1.1.2"
  }

From here, we need to call the iPAddressPost method on the IP address in question:

var CloudmersiveValidateApiClient = require('cloudmersive-validate-api-client');
var defaultClient = CloudmersiveValidateApiClient.ApiClient.instance;
// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
var Apikey = defaultClient.authentications['Apikey'];
Apikey.apiKey = 'YOUR API KEY';
var apiInstance = new CloudmersiveValidateApiClient.IPAddressApi();
var value = "value_example"; // String | IP address to geolocate, e.g. \"55.55.55.55\".  The input is a string so be sure to enclose it in double-quotes.
var callback = function(error, data, response) {
  if (error) {
    console.error(error);
  } else {
    console.log('API called successfully. Returned data: ' + data);
  }
};
apiInstance.iPAddressPost(value, callback);

This will then return back a response like the following:

{
  "CountryCode": "US",
  "CountryName": "United States",
  "City": "Everett",
  "RegionCode": "WA",
  "RegionName": "Washington",
  "ZipCode": "98201",
  "TimezoneStandardName": "America/Los Angeles",
  "Latitude": 47.9884,
  "Longitude": -122.2006
}

That’s it! We have geolocated an IP in Node.js!
