IPinfo C# .NET SDK

This is the official C# .NET SDK for the IPinfo.io IP address API, allowing you to lookup your own IP address, or get any of the following details for other IP addresses:

• IP geolocation / geoIP data (city, region, country, postal code, latitude and longitude)
• ASN details (ISP or network operator, associated domain name, and type, such as business, hosting or company)
• Firmographics data (the name and domain of the business that uses the IP address)
• Carrier information (the name of the mobile carrier and MNC and MCC for that carrier if the IP is used exclusively for mobile traffic)

Getting Started

You'll need an IPinfo API access token, which you can get by singing up for a free account at https://ipinfo.io/signup.

The free plan is limited to 50,000 requests per month, and doesn't include some of the data fields such as IP type and company data. To enable all the data fields and additional request volumes see https://ipinfo.io/pricing

Installation

This package can be installed from NuGet.

Install using Package Manager

Install-Package IPinfo

Install using the dotnet CLI

dotnet add package IPinfo

Install with NuGet.exe

nuget install IPinfo

Quick Start

// namespace
using IPinfo;

// initializing IPinfo client
string token = "your_token_string";
IPinfoClient client = new IPinfoClient.Builder()
    .AccessToken(token)
    .Build();

Usage

// making API call
string ip = "216.239.36.21";
IPResponse ipResponse = await client.IPApi.GetDetailsAsync(ip);

// accessing location details from response
Console.WriteLine($"IPResponse.IP: {ipResponse.IP}");
Console.WriteLine($"IPResponse.City: {ipResponse.City}");
Console.WriteLine($"IPResponse.Company.Name: {ipResponse.Company.Name}");
Console.WriteLine($"IPResponse.Country: {ipResponse.Country}");
Console.WriteLine($"IPResponse.CountryName: {ipResponse.CountryName}");

Synchronous

// making synchronous API call
string ip = "216.239.36.21";
IPResponse ipResponse = client.IPApi.GetDetails(ip);

Caching

In-memory caching of data is provided by default. Custom implementation of the cache can also be provided by implementing the ICache interface.

Modifying cache options

long cacheEntryTimeToLiveInSeconds = 2*60*60*24; // 2 days
int cacheSizeMbs = 2;
IPinfoClient client = new IPinfoClient.Builder()
    .AccessToken(token) // pass your token string
    .Cache(new CacheWrapper(cacheConfig => cacheConfig
        .CacheMaxMbs(cacheSizeMbs) // pass cache size in mbs
        .CacheTtl(cacheEntryTimeToLiveInSeconds))) // pass time to live in seconds for cache entry
    .Build();

Samples

Sample codes are also available.

Other Libraries

There are official IPinfo client libraries available for many languages including PHP, Go, Java, Ruby, and many popular frameworks such as Django, Rails and Laravel. There are also many third party libraries and integrations available for our API.
