CodeIgniter IP2Proxy Library
============================

[](#codeigniter-ip2proxy-library)

This module allows user to reverse search of IP address to detect VPN servers, open proxies, web proxies, Tor exit nodes, search engine robots, data center ranges, residential proxies, consumer privacy networks, and enterprise private networks. Other information available includes proxy type, country, state, city, ISP, domain name, usage type, AS number, AS name, threats, last seen date and provider names.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Upload `controllers` and `libraries` to CodeIgniter `application` folder.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

This module is able to query the IP address information from either BIN database or web service. This section will explain how to use this extension to query from BIN database and web service.

Sample codes are given in this project, under **controllers** folder. You may run the sample code by using <your\_domain>/index.php/ip2proxy\_test.

### BIN Database

[](#bin-database)

Use following codes in your application for get geolocation information.

```
// (optional) Define IP2Proxy database path.
define('IP2PROXY_DATABASE', '/path/to/ip2proxy/database');

$ipx = new IP2Proxy_lib();
$countryCode = $ipx->getCountryShort('1.0.241.135');

```

Below are the methods supported for BIN data file lookup.

```
$countryShort = $ipx->getCountryShort($ip);
$countryLong = $ipx->getCountryLong($ip);
$region = $ipx->getRegion($ip);
$city = $ipx->getCity($ip);
$isp = $ipx->getISP($ip);
$doamin = $ipx->getDomain($ip);
$usageType = $ipx->getUsageType($ip);
$proxyType = $ipx->getProxyType($ip);
$asn = $ipx->getASN($ip);
$as = $ipx->getAS($ip);
$lastSeen = $ipx->getLastSeen($ip);
$threat = $ipx->getThreat($ip);
$provider = $ipx->getProvider($ip);
$isProxy = $ipx->isProxy($ip);

```

### Web Service

[](#web-service)

Use following codes in your application for get geolocation information.

```
// (required) Define IP2Proxy API key.
define('IP2PROXY_API_KEY', 'your_api_key');

// (required) Define IP2Proxy Web service package of different granularity of return information.
define('IP2PROXY_PACKAGE', 'PX1');

// (optional) Define to use https or http.
define('IP2PROXY_USESSL', false);

$ipx = new IP2Proxy_lib();
print_r ($ipx->getWebService('1.0.241.135'));

```

Dependencies
------------

[](#dependencies)

This module requires IP2Proxy BIN data file or IP2Proxy API key to function. You may download the BIN data file at

- IP2Proxy LITE BIN Data (Free):
