This package allows you to check whether an IP address belongs to a hosting/cloud provider. In case the IP belongs to a hosting provider (datacenter), this module will return the meta information for the hosting provider.
Currently, there are more than 180,000 IP ranges from more than 4,400 hosting providers in the database. Learn more, by reading the documentation.
You can both use this package from Node.js and in the browser with vanilla JavaScript.
npm install ip-to-hostingIf you want to clone the repository directly from GitHub instead:
git clone git@github.com:ipapi-is/ip_to_hosting.gitIf you want to lookup the following IP addresses:
const { ipToHosting } = require('ip-to-hosting');
const ipAddresses = [
'144.168.164.55',
'167.99.241.66',
'97.107.129.77',
'85.10.199.76',
];
for (let ip of ipAddresses) {
ipToHosting(ip).then(function (isHosting) {
console.log(`${ip} isHosting:`);
console.log(isHosting);
});
}which yields:
85.10.199.76 isHosting:
{
datacenter: 'Hetzner Online GmbH',
domain: 'www.hetzner.com',
network: '85.10.192.0 - 85.10.207.255'
}
167.99.241.66 isHosting:
{
datacenter: 'DigitalOcean',
code: '60341',
city: 'Frankfurt',
state: 'DE-HE',
country: 'DE',
network: '167.99.240.0/20'
}
144.168.164.55 isHosting:
{
datacenter: 'ServerMania Inc.',
domain: 'https://www.servermania.com/',
network: '144.168.128.0-144.168.255.255'
}
97.107.129.77 isHosting:
{
datacenter: 'Linode',
domain: 'https://www.linode.com/',
network: '97.107.128.0-97.107.143.255'
}If the IP address belongs to a datacenter/hosting provider, the API response will return an object with the following required attributes:
datacenter-string- to which datacenter the IP address belongs. For a full list of datacenters, check the ipapi.is/json/info endpoint. In this case, the datacenter's name isB2 Net Solutions Inc.domain-string- The domain name of the companynetwork-string- the network this IP address belongs to (In the above case:144.168.128.0 - 144.168.255.255)
With some datacenter providers, more meta data is available. Consult the API documentation page in order to learn more.
Most IP's don't belong to a hosting provider. In those cases, the response will be null.
