Package: xt
Version: 0.9.1-6
Severity: wishlist
It would be great if xtraceroute could fetch location information from
the data sources available from <URL:http://www.hostip.info/>. The
methods available are listed on <URL:http://www.hostip.info/use.html>:
Simple GET
That said, there is an easy HTTP oriented API to locate IP addresses
and Geocode them. If you don't supply the "?ip=aa.bb.cc.dd" bit,
then the ip address lookup of the calling machine will be located
instead (here, the aa,bb,cc,dd are decimal digits). If you add
&position=true to the end of the URL then latitude and longitude
will be returned also. Both HTML and XML formats are supplied for
your convenience.
http://www.hostip.info/api/get.html?ip=12.215.42.19
Country: UNITED STATES (US)
City: Sugar Grove, IL
http://www.hostip.info/api/get.html?ip=12.215.42.19&position=true
Country: UNITED STATES (US)
City: Sugar Grove, IL
Latitude: 41.7696
Longitude: -88.4588
http://www.hostip.info/api/get.XML?ip=12.215.42.19
[use the URL above for an example - XML too long to paste below]
I suspect the XML method might be the most convinient method, but the
text version with position should be easily parsable as well.
