IP to Country - IPv6

问题:

I've been using an IPv4 to country convertor successfully. eg: get IP of machine and compare to table to get country.

I'm updating this currently and with IPv6 around the corner I wanted to ask if there is a solution for converting IPv6 to country?

Note: preference for PHP and MySQL

thx

If you're OK with using a web service then my service http://ipinfo.io recently added IPv6 support:

$ curl http://ipinfo.io/2001:4860:4860::8888
{
  "ip": "2001:4860:4860::8888",
  "hostname": "No Hostname",
  "city": null,
  "region": null,
  "country": "US",
  "loc": "38.0000,-97.0000",
  "org": "AS15169 Google Inc."
}

You can either parse the JSON response to get the country, or add country to the URL:

$ curl http://ipinfo.io/2001:4860:4860::8888/country
US

See http://ipinfo.io/developers for more details.

Maxmind have support for IPv6 in their GeoIP Country database.

Here's an example with https://ipdata.co

curl api.ipdata.co/2c0f:fd58:9:198::255e

Which gives

{
    "ip": "2c0f:fd58:9:198::255e",
    "city": "",
    "region": "",
    "country_name": "South Africa",
    "country_code": "ZA",
    "continent_name": "Africa",
    "continent_code": "AF",
    "latitude": -29.0,
    "longitude": 24.0,
    "asn": "AS20940",
    "organisation": "Akamai International B.V.",
    "postal": "",
    "currency": "ZAR",
    "currency_symbol": "R",
    "calling_code": "27",
    "flag": "https://ipdata.co/flags/za.png",
    "time_zone": "Africa/Johannesburg"
}⏎
