The IP2Location API enables you to uncover valuable information about an IP address. With it, you can pinpoint a user's geographic location, such as country, region, city, and even latitude and longitude coordinates. This data is essential for various tasks like localizing content, analyzing traffic, or enhancing security by detecting potentially malicious activity. Using Pipedream, you can automate actions based on IP location data, integrating it with hundreds of other services without writing any code.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
ip2location: {
type: "app",
app: "ip2location",
},
ip: {
type: "string",
default: "142.113.220.31"
},
package: {
type: "string",
default: "WS1"
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.ip2location.com/v2`,
params: {
key: `${this.ip2location.$auth.api_key}`,
ip: `${this.ip}`,
package: `${this.package}`,
},
})
},
})
Geo-targeted Content Personalization: Craft personalized user experiences by deploying a Pipedream workflow that uses IP2Location to detect a visitor’s location. Combine this with a CMS like WordPress to dynamically tailor content on your website, showing region-specific offers, language, or currency.
Security Alerts and Fraud Detection: Implement a Pipedream workflow that leverages IP2Location for real-time analysis of IP addresses accessing your systems. Integrate with Slack or Email to get instant notifications when suspicious activity is detected, like logins from high-risk countries or multiple locations in a short span.
Traffic Analysis and Reporting: Use IP2Location in a Pipedream workflow to enrich logs with geolocation data. Integrate with data visualization tools like Google Sheets or Tableau to create dashboards that track and display user locations, helping you understand your global audience better.

IP2Location uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your IP2Location account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to IP2Location APIs in both code and no-code steps.
Access your API key from the License section in your IP2Location account in order to make authenticated requests to their API.
