The official PHP SDK for the IPWho IP Geolocation API by ipwho.org - Get detailed IP geolocation, timezone, connection, and security information with full type safety.

Installation

Install via Composer:

composer install

Or add to your composer.json:

{
  "require": {
    "ipwho/sdk-ipwho-php": "^1.0"
  }
}

Then run:

composer install

Quick Start

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use SDKIpWho\Client;

$client = new Client('your-api-key');

// Get caller's location (uses your IP by default)
$location = $client->getLocation();
print_r($location);

// Get location for a specific IP
$specificLocation = $client->getLocation('8.8.8.8');
print_r($specificLocation);

Authentication

Initialize the client with your API key:

$client = new Client('your-api-key');

Get your API key by signing up here.

The SDK automatically includes your API key in the X-API-Key header for all requests. Missing API keys will throw an error immediately.

Methods

All methods accept an optional ip parameter. When omitted, the SDK uses the caller's IP address (calls /me endpoint). When provided, it queries the specific IP (calls /ip/{ip} endpoint).

getLocation(?string $ip = null): ?GeoLocation

Get geographical location data for an IP address.

Parameters:

  • $ip (optional) - IP address to query. Defaults to caller's IP if omitted.

Returns: GeoLocation object or null if unavailable.

Example:

// Get your own location
$myLocation = $client->getLocation();

// Get location for specific IP
$location = $client->getLocation('1.1.1.1');

print_r($location);
// GeoLocation {
//   continent: "Oceania",
//   continentCode: "OC",
//   country: "Australia",
//   countryCode: "AU",
//   capital: "Canberra",
//   region: "Queensland",
//   regionCode: "QLD",
//   city: "South Brisbane",
//   postalCode: "4101",
//   dialCode: "+61",
//   isInEu: false,
//   latitude: -27.4766,
//   longitude: 153.0166,
//   accuracyRadius: 500
// }

getTimezone(?string $ip = null): ?Timezone

Get timezone information for an IP address.

Parameters:

  • $ip (optional) - IP address to query. Defaults to caller's IP if omitted.

Returns: Timezone object or null if unavailable.

Example:

// Get your own timezone
$myTimezone = $client->getTimezone();

// Get timezone for specific IP
$timezone = $client->getTimezone('8.8.8.8');

print_r($timezone);
// Timezone {
//   timeZone: "America/Los_Angeles",
//   abbr: "PST",
//   offset: -28800,
//   isDst: false,
//   utc: "-08:00",
//   currentTime: "2026-02-07T10:30:00-08:00"
// }

getConnection(?string $ip = null): ?Connection

Get ISP and network connection details for an IP address.

Parameters:

  • $ip (optional) - IP address to query. Defaults to caller's IP if omitted.

Returns: Connection object or null if unavailable.

Example:

// Get your own connection details
$myConnection = $client->getConnection();

// Get connection details for specific IP
$connection = $client->getConnection('1.1.1.1');

print_r($connection);
// Connection {
//   asnNumber: 13335,
//   asnOrg: "Cloudflare, Inc.",
//   isp: "Cloudflare",
//   org: "APNIC Research and Development",
//   domain: "cloudflare.com",
//   connectionType: "Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit"
// }

getSecurity(?string $ip = null): ?Security

Get security information including VPN, Tor, and threat detection.

Parameters:

  • $ip (optional) - IP address to query. Defaults to caller's IP if omitted.

Returns: Security object or null if unavailable.

Example:

// Check your own IP security status
$mySecurity = $client->getSecurity();

// Check security for specific IP
$security = $client->getSecurity('8.8.8.8');

print_r($security);
// Security {
//   isVpn: false,
//   isTor: false,
//   isThreat: "low"
// }

getMe(): IPWhoData

Get complete IP information for the caller's IP address.

Returns: Full IPWhoData object with all available information.

Example:

$myData = $client->getMe();

print_r($myData);
// IPWhoData {
//   ip: "203.0.113.1",
//   geoLocation: { ... },
//   timezone: { ... },
//   flag: { ... },
//   currency: { ... },
