USAGE

IP2Proxy Laravel extension is able to query the IP address proxy information from either BIN database or web service. This section will explain how to use this extension to query from BIN database and web service.

BIN DATABASE

1. Download IP2Proxy BIN database
   • IP2Proxy free LITE database at https://lite.ip2location.com
   • IP2Proxy commercial database at https://www.ip2location.com/proxy-database
2. To use IP2Proxy databases, create a folder named as ip2proxy in the database directory.
3. Unzip and copy the BIN file into database/ip2proxy/ folder.
4. Rename the BIN file to IP2PROXY.BIN.
5. Create a TestController in Laravel using the below command line

php artisan make:controller TestController

1. Open the app/Http/Controllers/TestController.php in any text editor.
2. To use IP2Proxy databases, add the below lines into the controller file

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use IP2ProxyLaravel;            //use IP2ProxyLaravel class

class TestController extends Controller
{
    //Create a lookup function for display
    public function lookup(){
        //Try query the geolocation information of 1.2.3.4 IP address
        $records = IP2ProxyLaravel::get('1.2.3.4', 'bin');

        echo '<p><strong>IP Address: </strong>' . $records['ipAddress'] . '</p>';
        echo '<p><strong>IP Number: </strong>' . $records['ipNumber'] . '</p>';
        echo '<p><strong>IP Version: </strong>' . $records['ipVersion'] . '</p>';
        echo '<p><strong>Country Code: </strong>' . $records['countryCode'] . '</p>';
        echo '<p><strong>Country: </strong>' . $records['countryName'] . '</p>';
        echo '<p><strong>State: </strong>' . $records['regionName'] . '</p>';
        echo '<p><strong>City: </strong>' . $records['cityName'] . '</p>';
        echo '<p><strong>Proxy Type: </strong>' . $records['proxyType'] . '</p>';
        echo '<p><strong>Is Proxy: </strong>' . $records['isProxy'] . '</p>';
        echo '<p><strong>ISP: </strong>' . $records['isp'] . '</p>';
        echo '<p><strong>Domain: </strong>' . $records['domain'] . '</p>';
        echo '<p><strong>Usage Type: </strong>' . $records['usageType'] . '</p>';
        echo '<p><strong>ASN: </strong>' . $records['asn'] . '</p>';
        echo '<p><strong>AS: </strong>' . $records['as'] . '</p>';
        echo '<p><strong>Last Seen: </strong>' . $records['lastSeen'] . '</p>';
        echo '<p><strong>Threat: </strong>' . $records['threat'] . '</p>';
        echo '<p><strong>Provider: </strong>' . $records['provider'] . '</p>';
    }
}

1. Add the following line into the routes/web.php file.

Route::get('test', 'App\Http\Controllers\TestController@lookup');

1. Enter the URL /test and run. You should see the information of 1.2.3.4 IP address.

WEB SERVICE

1. To use IP2Location.io or IP2Proxy Web Service, create a new file called "site_vars.php" in config directory.
2. In the site_vars.php, save the following contents for IP2Location.io:

<?php
return [
    'IP2LocationioAPIKey' => 'your_api_key', // Required. Your IP2Location.io API key.
    'IP2LocationioLanguage' => 'en', // Optional. Refer to https://www.ip2location.io/ip2location-documentation for available languages.
];

Or save the following contents for IP2Proxy:

<?php
return [
    'IP2ProxyAPIKey' => 'your_api_key', // Required. Your IP2Proxy API key.
    'IP2ProxyPackage' => 'PX1', // Required. Choose the package you would like to use.
    'IP2ProxyUsessl' => false, // Optional. Use https or http.
];

1. Create a TestController in Laravel using the below command line

php artisan make:controller TestController

1. Open the app/Http/Controllers/TestController.php in any text editor.
2. To use IP2Proxy Web Service, add the below lines into the controller file.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use IP2ProxyLaravel;            //use IP2ProxyLaravel class

class TestController extends Controller
{
    //Create a lookup function for display
    public function lookup(){
        //Try query the geolocation information of 1.2.3.4 IP address
        $records = IP2ProxyLaravel::get('1.2.3.4', 'ws');

        echo '<pre>';
        print_r($records);
        echo '</pre>';
    }
}
