geoIP: ipListLookup

In RandallShanePhD/geoPlot: Geocodes street or ip addresses and plots them on a map.

Description

Implements a lookup using the InfoDB API to determine point coordinates for a given ip address. There is a package dependency here for rjson and you must have this. Also, you should get your own API code and supplement it for the one used here. See Details Section.

Usage

geoIP(x)

Arguments

x	x is the ip address in ipV4 format

Details

The lookup here is performed by using the InfoDB ip lookup page at http://ipinfodb.com/ via API call to http which is structured as follows:
PATTERN: http://api.ipinfodb.com/v3/ip-city/?key=YOUR_API_KEY&ip=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX&format=json
You can get your own API key, (yes, it's free), and supplement it into the code for the geoIP function at http://ipinfodb.com/ip_location_api.php. The data will be returned in a JSON document on a page which is ingested.

Value

A list is returned containing the following elements:

ipaddress	Input ip address.
statusCode	Returned status code from lookup.
latitude	Point coordinate - latitude.
longitude	Point coordinate - longitude.
statusMessage	Returned status message from lookup.
countryCode	Country code from ip lookup.
