Get Location Based on IP Address
There are many vendor available in market that provides REST service to get Location based on IP Address. In our example we have used IPInfoDB.Step 1) Create an account with IPInfoDB: http://ipinfodb.com/register.php
Once account is created, you will receive an Account Activation link from IPInfoDB:
Activate the account.
Step 2) Login into IPInfoDB and under Overview Tab, copy the API Key. Using this API Key we will call IPInfoDB Rest API to get Location.
Step 3) Java Code:
import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.InputStreamReader; import java.net.MalformedURLException; import org.apache.http.HttpResponse; import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost; import org.apache.http.entity.StringEntity; import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient; public class IPInfoDB { public static void main(String[] args) { new IPInfoDB().getClientLatLng("IP_ADDRESS"); } public void getClientLatLng(String ip){ if(ip!=null && !ip.equals("")) { try { DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(); HttpPost postRequest = new HttpPost( "http://api.ipinfodb.com/v3/ip-city/?key={YOUR_API_KEY}&ip=" + ip); HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(postRequest); if (response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() != 201) { /* * throw new RuntimeException("Failed : HTTP error code : " + * response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode()); */ System.out.println("StatusCode: " + response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode()); } BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader( (response.getEntity().getContent()))); String output; System.out.println("Output from Server .... \n"); while ((output = br.readLine()) != null) { System.out.println(output); } httpClient.getConnectionManager().shutdown(); } catch (MalformedURLException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } }
OUTPUT:
