====================

[](#ix-ip-infomation-api)

An IP Information API Dependent on MaxMind IP Database
------------------------------------------------------

[](#an-ip-information-api-dependent-on-maxmind-ip-database)

Description
-----------

[](#description)

This API can help you get information of a IP. For example, the country, state, city or even the latitude, longitude or the ISP information of an IP address.

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

[](#installation)

```
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
php composer.phar require "ix-network/ip-info-api:dev-master"

```

How to Use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

Use this to update your database:

```
include 'vendor/autoload.php';
// when $logfile is null, log will be recorded into Log/Cron.log
IXNetwork\IPLib\Cron::cron([$type = 'City'[, $isLog = true[, $logFile = null]]]);

```

Then you can use this to get information of an IP:

```
include 'vendor/autoload.php';
// when $logfile is null, log will be recorded into Log/Info.log
IXNetwork\IPLib\Info::getInfo($ip[, $type = 'City'[, $isLogging = true[, $logFile = null]]]);

```
