ipapi-ruby

A Ruby gem to query IP addresses using the ipquery.io API.

Overview

Ipapi is a lightweight utility module written in Ruby that allows you to fetch detailed information about any IP address. It uses the public ipquery.io API and is ideal for quick integrations, CLI tools, or small-scale applications that need geolocation or network data based on IP addresses.

Features

  • Query your own IP address data.
  • Query information for any valid IP address.
  • Choose the response format (JSON by default).

Installation

gem install ipapi

Dependencies

  • httparty -> "0.23.1"

Usage

First, make sure to require the module in your script:

require "ipapi"

Query your own IP:

Ipapi.query_own_ip()

Query a specific IP:

Ipapi.query_ip("8.8.8.8", "yaml")
