Look up an IP address using the MMDB database

Here's how to perform a local lookup using our MMDB database file with Node.js.

get_country_from_ip_address.js

import fs from 'fs';
import * as mmdb from 'mmdb-lib'; // npm install mmdb-lib

const db = fs.readFileSync('/path/to/ip-to-country.mmdb');

const reader = new mmdb.Reader(db);
console.log(reader.get('8.8.8.8'));
// {
//   continent_code: 'NA',
//   country_code: 'US',
//   country_name: 'United States',
//   network: '8.8.0.0/17'
// }

console.log(reader.getWithPrefixLength('8.8.8.8'));
// [
//   {
//     continent_code: 'NA',
//     country_code: 'US',
//     country_name: 'United States',
//     network: '8.8.0.0/17'
