You must replace YOUR_API_KEY_HERE with your personal API key.

Get the Current User or client’s IP Location

require 'open-uri'
require 'json'

request_uri = 'https://api.ipfind.com/me'
auth = 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'
ip_info = "#{request_uri}?auth=#{auth}"

<?php
$request_uri = 'https://api.ipfind.com/me';
$auth = 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE';
$url = $request_uri . "?auth=" . $auth;
$ip_info = file_get_contents($url);
?>

var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
var auth = 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE';
var url = "https://api.ipfind.com/me?auth=" + auth;
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
      var result = JSON.parse(this.responseText);
      console.log(result);
    }
};
xmlhttp.open("GET", url, true);
xmlhttp.send();

  using (var webClient = new System.Net.WebClient()) {
      string auth = "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE";
      string URL = "https://api.ipfind.com/me?auth=" + auth;

      var json = webClient.DownloadString(URL);
