geoip
An Elixir library to find geographic location information from IP addresses, hostnames, or Plug.Conn structs.
What is geoip?
GeoIP is an Elixir library that retrieves geographic location information—such as city, country, coordinates, and time zone—from IP addresses, hostnames, or Plug.Conn structs. It solves the problem of integrating geolocation data into Elixir applications by providing a unified interface to multiple external providers with built-in caching.
Elixir developers building web applications or services that require IP-based geolocation, such as analytics platforms, content localization tools, or security features.
Developers choose GeoIP for its simplicity, multi-provider flexibility, and out-of-the-box caching, which reduces API overhead and simplifies testing with a dedicated mock provider.
