The IP2Location.io API enables you to identify a user's geographical location based on their IP address. With it, you can fetch details like country, region, city, latitude, longitude, ZIP code, time zone, ISP, domain, and more. On Pipedream, this becomes a powerful tool to enrich event data, customize user experiences based on location, or even detect suspicious activities by comparing known user locations to new, anomalous ones. Since Pipedream can connect to countless APIs, you can automate processes that depend on geolocation information, triggering actions across different services.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
ip2location_io: {
type: "app",
app: "ip2location_io",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.ip2location.io/`,
params: {
key: `${this.ip2location_io.$auth.api_key}`,
ip: `{{your_ip_address}}`,
},
})
},
})
Personalize User Content: Use IP2Location.io to tailor content on your website for visitors based on their location. When your Pipedream workflow receives a web request, it can call the API for location data and then push that info to your CMS to serve location-specific pages or ads.
Security Alerts: Set up a workflow that checks the location of user logins against their typical login locations. On detecting a login from an unusual location, automatically send alerts through Slack or email using Pipedream's built-in actions.
Data Enrichment for Analytics: Enhance your analytics by appending geolocation data to user activities. As events flow through Pipedream from your app, use IP2Location.io to add location context before saving the enriched data to a service like Google Sheets or your own database.

IP2Location.io uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your IP2Location.io account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to IP2Location.io APIs in both code and no-code steps.
