GeoIP API for Go

This package wraps the libgeoip C library for access from Go (golang).

Install with go get github.com/abh/geoip and use godoc geoip to read the documentation.

There's a small example in the ex/ subdirectory.

You can download the free GeoLite Country database or you can subscribe to updates.

Examples

file := "/usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat"

gi, err := geoip.Open(file)
if err != nil {
	fmt.Printf("Could not open GeoIP database\n")
}

if gi != nil {
	country, netmask := gi.GetCountry("207.171.7.51")
}

// Setup gi6 by opening the optional IPv6 database and then...
country := gi6.GetCountry_v6("2607:f238:2::5")
fmt.Println(country)
