CLI examples

$ curl vdm.valec.net
3.41.188.33

$ http -b vdm.valec.net

$ wget -qO- vdm.valec.net
3.41.188.33

$ fetch -qo- https://vdm.valec.net
3.41.188.33

$ bat -print=b vdm.valec.net/ip

Country lookup

$ http vdm.valec.net/country

$ http vdm.valec.net/country-iso
IE

City lookup

$ http vdm.valec.net/city
Dublin

JSON output

$ http vdm.valec.net/json
{
  "ip": "3.41.188.33",
  "ip_decimal": 53066785,
  "country": "Ireland",
  "country_eu": true,
  "country_iso": "IE",
  "city": "Dublin",
  "hostname": "3-41-188-33.crawl.commoncrawl.org",
  "latitude": 53.3338,

}

Setting the Accept: application/json header also works as expected.

FAQ

How do I force IPv4 or IPv6 lookup?

As of 2018-07-25 it's no longer possible to force protocol using the v4 and v6 subdomains. IPv4 or IPv6 still can be forced by passing the appropiate flag to your client, e.g curl -4 or curl -6.

Is automated use of this service permitted?

Yes, as long as the rate limit is respected. The rate limit is in place to ensure a fair service for all.

Please limit automated requests to 1 request per minute. No guarantee is made for requests that exceed this limit. They may be rate-limited, with a 429 status code, or dropped entirely.

Can I run my own service?

Yes, the source code and documentation is available on GitHub.
