C# – Convert IP Address to Location

13 thoughts on “C# – Convert IP Address to Location”

• Is this code run to fetch mobile ip address means mobile location ipv4

• Sir can i achieve this functionality in .net mvc same code

• Very nice, I've adapt it slightly for anyone who needs it for ASP.NET core 2.2 or above.

  I've added a model to map the json data so that I can extract specific information such as city or region:

  First, right click on your model folder and create a class call it anything I called mine Location.cs with the following attributes:
  
  public class Location
  
  {

  public async Task<string> GetGeoInfo()
  
  {

  var client = new RestClient("https://ipapi.co/json&quot;);
  
  var request = new RestRequest()
  
  {
  
  Method = Method.GET
  
  };
  
  var response = client.Execute(request);

  var json = response.Content.ToString();

  return json;
  
  }

  }

  Next, create a JsonToViewModel.cs which we will use to map the json values..In the JsonToViewModel I have the following properties:
  
  public class JsonToViewModel
  
  {
  
  [JsonProperty("ip")]

  public string IP { get; set; }

  [JsonProperty("city")]

  public string City { get; set; }

  [JsonProperty("region")]

  public string Region { get; set; }

  [JsonProperty("region_code")]

  public string RegionCode { get; set; }

  [JsonProperty("country_name")]

  public string CountryName { get; set; }

  [JsonProperty("country_code")]

  public string CountryCode { get; set; }

  }

  Now, in the controller class you can either write a function or call it in a Index action method (or whatever action you prefer), for this I created a function in the HomeController called, GeoLocation like this:

  public async Task<IActionResult> GeoLocation()
  
  {
  
  Location geoHelper = new Location(); //the model class
  
  JsonToViewModel model = new JsonToViewModel(); //jsonVM class to mapp
  
  var result = await geoHelper.GetGeoInfo(); //fetch ip information from the location model
  
  model = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JsonToViewModel>(result); //convert and map the return json data to the jsontoviewmodel

  //Now doing any of this will give you access to a particular IP info as specified in your Location Model.
  //var Ip = model.IP;
  
  //var countryName = model.CountryName;
  
  //var city = model.City;
  
  //var region = model.Region;

  return View(model);
  
  }

  In the Index Action you can call GeoLocation();

  This is very useful if you need to get just one or two info from the IP request so thought I'd share. Hope this helps.
