The Linux command line is a great tool. Today I’ll like to share a method to get Geographical IP information with one command, using curl and the tool of ipinfo.io.
It is as easy to use this command:
$ curl ipinfo.io/<IP Address>
Here you have an example:
You will have these parameters:
- IP
- City
- Region
- Country
- Loc (Coordinates)
- Org
- Postal
- Timezone
If you want to get information about the Public IP Address you use to go to The Internet, you could execute the command this way:
$ curl ipinfo.io
And if you only want to get the IP Address, without more details:
$ curl ipinfo.io/ip
And that’s all. If you want more information about an IP address, you could visit the website of ipinfo.io, and you’ll get some more information and tools.
