Node.JS IP Doxxer

IPDox is a simple and efficient IP geolocation library for Node.js. It fetches data from multiple geolocation APIs and provides a unified response. It also includes a caching mechanism to prevent unnecessary requests.

Installation

npm install node-ipdox --save

Usage

import { IPDox } from "node-ipdox";

const ipdox = new IPDox({
	cacheMaxItems: 5000,
	cacheMaxAge: 43200000,
	maxRetries: 10
});

ipdox
	.doxIP({ ip: "8.8.8.8" })
	.then(response => console.log(response))
	.catch(error => console.error(error));

API

new IPDox({ cacheMaxItems, cacheMaxAge, maxRetries })

Creates a new instance of IPDox.

• cacheMaxItems - The maximum number of items to store in the cache (default: 1000)
• cacheMaxAge - The cache timeout in milliseconds (default: 43200000 (12 hours))
• maxRetries - Maximum number of retries if an API request fails (default: 10)

ipdox.doxIP({ ip })

Fetches geolocation data for the specified IP address.

• ip - IP address

Returns a Promise that resolves to an IPDOXResponse object.

If no response is found, undefined is returned.

The IPDOXResponse object includes the following properties:

export interface IPDOXResponse {
	ip: string; // IP address
	country: string; // Country ISO code

	continent: string; // Continent ISO code
	latitude: number; // Latitude
	longitude: number; // Longitude
	zip: string; // Zip code
	isp: string; // ISP name
	proxy?: boolean; // Boolean indicating if the IP address is a proxy (might be undefined)
	isHosting?: boolean; // Boolean indicating if the IP address is a hosting provider (might be undefined)
	proxyInfo?: {
		// Proxy information  (might be undefined)
		isVPN: boolean; // Boolean indicating if the IP address is a VPN (might be undefined)
		isTOR: boolean; // Boolean indicating if the IP address is a TOR node (might be undefined)
		isProxy: boolean; // Boolean indicating if the IP address is a proxy (might be undefined)
	};
	timeZone: string; // Time zone

}
