README

Get the country & timezone of the request with the cloudflare country header or fallback to a paid geo-locator API.

$location = Geolocation::getLocation($request);
// { countryCode: "NL", timeZone: "Europe/Amsterdam" }

The aim of this package prioritize the cloudflare header to keep costs down. Only if that fails an API-call will be done. By this philosophy only minimal info will be available. (country code and timezone)

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require brainstud/geolocation

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="geolocation-config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

return [
    'header' => 'CF-IPCountry', // The cloudflare header that contains the country code
    'geocoder' => GeoLocator::IpRegistry, // The geocoder to use if the header is empty
    'ip-registry' => [ // Credentials for the ip registry API
        'base_url' => env('IP_REGISTRY_URL', 'https://api.ipregistry.co'),
        'key' => env('IP_REGISTRY_KEY'),
    ],
    'ip-stack' => [ // Credentials for the ip stack API
        'base_url' => env('IP_STACK_URL', 'https://api.ipstack.com'),
        'key' => env('IP_STACK_KEY'),
    ],
    'cache_ttl' => DateInterval::createFromDateString('2 months'), // Cache TTL for the geocoder services.
];
