dmh-ipapi-backend

backend part of dmh-ipapi to provide ip to geolocation services

requirements

I am using Node.js' native fetch implementation to avoid having to deal with the old-style http.get API or 3rd party http clients. this means that at the very least Node.js 16+ is required

usage

install the packages with your favorite package manager (or npm ci to use the provided package-lock.json) and either run the index.ts directly with

npm run dev

or build & run with

npm run build
npm run start

the default port, if not specified by the node environment, is 3100

api

GET /api/location/:ipAddress

will return back the city, country, ip address processed and a status back from the IP Geolocation API (ip-api.com), and not forward the request if a valid IPv4/IPv6 address is not provided

one more thing

please hire me <3
