http://www.josephtinsley.com Trying to build applications that I think are useful Thu, 11 Aug 2011 03:36:57 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 http://www.josephtinsley.com/2010/01/05/geolocation-by-ip-address-with-php/ http://www.josephtinsley.com/2010/01/05/geolocation-by-ip-address-with-php/#comments Tue, 05 Jan 2010 05:00:00 +0000 Joseph http://www.josephtinsley.com/52/2010-01-05/geolocation-by-ip-address-with-php/ Something kind of interesting happened today. I was going through my log files and noticed a query for “joe Tinsley woodland park” the query originated from “Medford, Massachusetts”. Woodland Park was an elementary school located on an air force base in South Carolina that I attended when I was a kid. I take it that someone from my past is trying to locate me. That’s pretty cool. The crazy part is I just noticed that I don’t have anyway for anyone to contact me via my website… Ha! I make the craziest moves sometimes.
Well I’ve mentioned all of this to say If you’re looking for a way to pull Geolocation Data from a single IP address try IPpages.com’s APIs. I’ve been using them for some time now and the service is pretty good. It does require some programming knowledge to the extract the data from the XML results.
Please let me know if I can help with any programming questions (PHP only!).
