In this tutorial, we use the IP2Proxy™ Web Service to detect proxy details from the visitor’s IP address. Instead of loading the full database, you can also lookup IP address via our hosted web service.
IP2Proxy™ Web API uses a single web interface to perform the lookup logic. The protocol used is HTTP GET. You can test this API as easy as using a web browser.
api.ip2proxy.com/?ip=<ip_address>&key=<your_api_key>&package=<package>&format=<format> |
PARAMETERS
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| key | (required) API key. Please use “demo” for evaluation. |
| ip | (optional) IP address (IPv4) for lookup purpose. If not present, the server IP address will be used for the lookup. |
| package | (optional) If not present, the web service will assume the PX1 package query. Valid value: PX1 | PX2 | PX3 | PX4 |
| format | (optional) If not present, json format will be returned as the search result. Valid value: json | xml |
Below are the sample codes written in PHP to query and display user’s proxy information.
<?php
$host= gethostname();
$ipAddress = gethostbyname($host);
$urlTemplate = 'http://api.ip2proxy.com/?ip=' . $ipAddress . '&key=demo&package=PX4';
// replace the "%s" with real IP address
$urlToCall = sprintf( $urlTemplate, $ipAddress);
$rawJson = file_get_contents( $urlToCall );
$proxy = json_decode( $rawJson, true );
if(isset($proxy['cityName'])){
if($proxy['cityName']=="-"){
echo '<center>You are in local server!</center><br>';
echo '<script language="javascript">';
echo 'alert("You are in local server!")';
echo '</script>';
}
}else{
echo 'IP Address parsing error!';
}
