I am trying to find user's location meaning in which country he is browsing. I need to use HTML and Javascript for this. I have seen various posts on stackoverflow on this in which people have suggested to use different different API's. I am mostly interested in any free API's and which can give me three letter country code not two. Any other API's is fine with me, it's not mandatory that I need to use IPInfo, I can als use geonames as well.
And after finding the user's country code, I need to make a URL like this, suppose the countryCode is USA, then it should be like this-
some_url&countryCode=USA
if countryCode is IND, then it should be like this-
some_url&countryCode=IND
I have the below code with me which will find the currentLocation but the countryCode is of two letter only. I need three letter country code and then make the url accordingly.
<html>
<head>
<title>Get web visitor's location</title>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$.get("http://ipinfo.io", function (response) {
$("#ip").html("IP: " + response.ip);
$("#address").html("Location: " + response.city + ", " + response.region);
$("#details").html(JSON.stringify(response, null, 4));
}, "jsonp");
</script>
</head>
<body>
<hr/>
<div id="ip"></div>
<div id="address"></div>
<hr/>Full response: <pre id="details"></pre>
<a href="url&country=countryCode">url</a>
</body>
</html>
Can anyone help me with this?
ipinfo.io
does NOT provide a three-letter country code. You'll have to manually produce an array:and then use
response.country
as the key to find the value from your homemade array.HTML
I don't think ipinfo provides a three letter country code.We have to use an array with all the available country code and match with the three letter country code.
