Get IP address information the using the ipdata.co API. If you are using Laravel, check out kielabokkie/laravel-ipdata.
Ipdata has a free plan that allows you to make 1,500 requests per day and paid plans if you need more than that. All plans need an API key and you'll have to register on their website to get one.
You can install the package via composer:
composer require kielabokkie/ipdata
Please note that when you instantiate the Ipdata class you have to pass your API key as a parameter.
$ipdata = new \Kielabokkie\Ipdata('yourapikey');
$res = $ipdata->lookup();
$ipdata = new \Kielabokkie\Ipdata('yourapikey');
$res = $ipdata->lookup('1.1.1.1');
The Ipdata API will return the following data:
