IP Geography Location

[iveney]

This workflow is handy when you want to quickly find out the geography location of your current external IP address. For example, when you use VPN, tor or proxy, you want to make sure (or just curious) where your IP is.

 

Usage:

 

loc <ip-address>

 

By default (without argument), it uses your own external IP address. Otherwise use the provided argument.

 

 

Download: here.

IMPORTANT: it uses the http://ipinfodb.com/ip_location_api.php for query. You may want to register your own API key, import the workflow and replace the string with your API key in the script.

Thanks for this. I'd find it quite handy, but I'm not getting it to work. If I type loc (while I'm connected to my VPN), it just says 'checking IP location' but doesn't return anything. Interestingly, if I disconnect my VPN, the workflow does return my correct country, but incorrect state and city location. Any ideas?

pgseye, 

 

It is supposed to check your external IP. Make sure you can actually visit http://ipinfodb.com/ when you are connected to the VPN. The location is returned by the service, so either they have a wrong entry or your IP indeed belongs to another city (your IP address may not be your physical location, depending your ISP)

Thanks iveney,

 

It now appears to be working - I don't know what was happening before.

 

Great workflow - I'll use it a lot.

Nice job .....But i usually use sites like Whoisxy.com to get details about particular ip address ..They do whois search for ip address and display details like ip owner name ,address,location and so on .....

Nice. I've just created a similar one which also includes hostname and network owner: http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/3157-ipinfo-workflow-ip-address-geolocation-hostname-network-provider/

This website deals with ip location. This is the best ip location site i found till date.
It gives the entire latitude and longitude position of the user even he uses proxy.
Have a look at this site : www.getiplocation.com
