geoip-rs

geoip-rs is a geoip service: it provides geographical information about the calling or the specified IP address.

When called with no query params, it resolves the calling IP address. For example: https://api.geoip.rs

When called with the ip query param, it resolves the specified IP address. For example: https://api.geoip.rs/?ip=216.58.205.132

If the provided IP address is invalid, it falls back to the calling IP address.

Running

Once built with cargo build --release, run it with ./target/release/geoip-rs. By default the english location dataset is loaded.

You can specify different datasets as command line arguments, for example bash ./target/release/geoip-rs data/GeoLite2-City-Blocks-IPv4.csv data/GeoLite2-City-Locations-ja.csv or environment variables, for example bash export GEOIP_RS_BLOCKS_FILE_PATH=./data/GeoLite2-City-Blocks-IPv4.csv export GEOIP_RS_LOCATIONS_FILE_PATH=./data/GeoLite2-City-Locations-ja.csv ./target/release/geoip-rs

Datasets

geoip-rs uses the free datasets provided by maxmind. They are not bundled: you have to download them separately.

Download "GeoLite2 City" dataset in CSV format from here and unzip it into the data folder.
