Identify Key Intelligence on an IP Address in PHP
Did you know that an IP address can be used to identify more than just the physical location of a user? It can also indicate if the user/IP is a known threat, bot, Tor exit node, or other malicious non-user entity. The following API leverages geolocation technology and an up-to-date database of various online threats to gather key intelligence on a specific IP address.
First, run this command to install the SDK package:
composer require cloudmersive/cloudmersive_validate_api_clientThen, you can call the function:
<?php
require_once(__DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php');// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
$config = Swagger\Client\Configuration::getDefaultConfiguration()->setApiKey('Apikey', 'YOUR_API_KEY');$apiInstance = new Swagger\Client\Api\IPAddressApi(
new GuzzleHttp\Client(),
$config
);
$value = "value_example"; // string | IP address to process, e.g. \"55.55.55.55\". The input is a string so be sure to enclose it in double-quotes.try {
$result = $apiInstance->iPAddressIpIntelligence($value);
print_r($result);
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo 'Exception when calling IPAddressApi->iPAddressIpIntelligence: ', $e->getMessage(), PHP_EOL;
}
?>
The successful process will return location information (including coordinates, time zone, zip code, and more), as well as information on any threat that may be present. Our hope is that this multi-purpose API will be a valuable addition to your business, whenever the need arises.
