Getting Started

IP Address

device connected to a network that uses the Internet Protocol (IP) for communication. It acts like a digital mailing address, allowing information to be sent and received between devices on the internet.

IP geolocation

IP geolocation is a technique that estimates the geographical location (country, city, region, etc.) of a device connected to the internet based on its IP address.

Accessing to the Address

There are various solutions for this task, but the simplest one is to use GeoLocation providers, which provide you with the possibility to access the user's address easily and only by using the user's IP address.

Remember, the user's IP comes with the HTTP request.

Locator on your Microservice

If your application architecture is based on microservices, it is better to develop a separate service to use this provider. This allows you to reuse and maintain and develop it separately.

The locator works like a proxy

Duplicate requests are always there, in order not to send a duplicate request to the Geolocation provider every time, it is better to cache your requests.
