geolocate: Geolocate an IP address (v4 o4 v6) or domain name via <URL:...

In hrbrmstr/ipapi: Geolocate IPv4/6 addresses and/or domain names using ip-api.com's API

Description

Given a character vector of IP addresses (v4 or v6) and/or domain names, this function will return a data.table of geolocated values with the columns mapped to the ip-api.com's successful response fields (see: http://ip-api.com/docs/api:returned_values for more info).

Usage

geolocate(entities, .progress = TRUE)

Arguments

.progress	show a progress bar? (useful if geolocating many entities)
entites	character vector of items to geolocate

Details

A small delay is introducted to each geolocation call to help avoid having your IP address being banned by the ip-api.com servers.

If there is an error in the http transaction, a warning will be generated and the lookup response will be populated with NAs. Similarly, if there is a geocoding failure, the response for that query will also be populated with NAs

Value

data.table of responses
