ipinfo/cli
Cli
The IPinfo CLI is a command-line interface tool designed for querying IP geolocation, autonomous system data, and network metadata from the IPinfo database. It provides terminal utilities for retrieving geographical locations, network owners, and routing details for individual target addresses, local host machines, and autonomous system numbers.
The interface supports command-line automation utilities including bulk pipe processing, data field filtering, dataset summarization, IP range generation, and network address filtering. Users can stream continuous lines of text from upstream processes to evaluate large datasets concurrently, extract requested attributes from lookup results, and aggregate responses to compute regional distributions, carrier breakdowns, and routing statistics.
Access token management and local credential persistence mechanisms store user credentials locally to authenticate remote requests and unlock higher rate limits. The application handles command-line flag parsing, REST API client abstraction, and local configuration persistence.
Features
- CLI Query Interfaces - Provides a command-line interface for querying IP geolocation, autonomous system data, and network metadata.
- Autonomous System Analysis - Fetches autonomous system number data, including company names and routing allocations, using command-line queries.
- IP Intelligence Tools - Delivers a command-line tool for bulk processing, summarizing, and filtering IP address datasets and routing information.
- IP Addressing Fundamentals - Fetches comprehensive geolocation, network owner, and routing information for a given target internet protocol address.
- Geographic IP Lookups - Fetches location, organization, and network information for one or more internet addresses directly from the command line.
- Statistical Aggregators - Accumulates data across multiple remote responses to compute regional distributions, carrier breakdowns, and routing statistics.
- Dataset Aggregators - Aggregates attributes across a collection of network addresses to produce statistical breakdowns of regions and carriers.
- CLI Pipe Integration - Accepts lists of network addresses streamed through standard input to evaluate large sets concurrently.
- Host Network Information Utilities - Displays geolocation and provider information for the host machine currently executing the command line interface.
- IP Geolocation Tools - Provides a terminal utility for retrieving geographical locations and network details for IP addresses.
- Standard Stream Piping - Pipes continuous lines of text from upstream processes directly into workers to evaluate massive datasets.
- Target Device Address Retrieval - Retrieves detailed location, organization, and routing range metadata for any specific target network address.
- Field Filtering - Iterates over parsed response structures to strip unrequested attributes before rendering final text or tabular output.
