GeoIP::DB

Combining the geoip gem and the database from MaxMind, this gem offers IP Geolocation in an easy to deploy package.

Usage

require 'geoip-db'

geoip = GeoIP::DB.instance
geoip.city('github.com')
#=> ["github.com", "207.97.227.239", "US", "USA", "United States", "NA", "CA", "San Francisco", "94110", 37.7484, -122.4156, 807, 415, "America/Los_Angeles"]

GeoIP::DB.instance returns an instance of GeoIP initialized with a copy of the city database. See geoip for further usage.
