+# GeoIP2 PHP API #
+
+**NOTE**: This is an alpha release. The API may change before the final
+production release.
+
+## Description ##
+
+Currently, this distribution provides an API for the [GeoIP2 web services]
+(http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/web-services).
+
+In the future, this distribution will also provide the same API for the
+GeoIP2 downloadable databases. These databases have not yet been
+released as a downloadable product.
+
+See ``GeoIP2\WebService\Client`` for details on the web service client
+API.
+
+## Installation ##
+
+### Define Your Dependencies ###
+
+We recommend installing this package with [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/).
+To do this, add ```geoip2/geoip2``` to your ```composer.json``` file.
+
+```json
+{
+    "require": {
+        "geoip2/geoip2": "0.1.*"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Install Composer ###
+
+Run in your project root:
+
+```
+curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
+```
+
+### Install Dependencies ###
+
+Run in your project root:
+
+```
+php composer.phar install
+```
+
+### Require Autoloader ###
+
+You can autoload all dependencies by adding this to your code:
+```
+require 'vendor/autoload.php';
+```
+
+## Usage ##
+
+To use this API, you must create a new ``\GeoIP2\WebService\Client``
+object with your ``$userId`` and ``$licenseKey``, then you call the method
+corresponding to a specific end point, passing it the IP address you want to
+look up.
+
+If the request succeeds, the method call will return a model class for the end
+point you called. This model in turn contains multiple record classes, each of
+which represents part of the data returned by the web service.
+
+See the API documentation for more details.
+
+## Example ##
+
+```php
+<?php
+require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
+use \GeoIP2\WebService\Client;
+
+$client = new Client(42, 'abcdef123456');
+$omni = $client->omni('24.24.24.24');
+echo $omni->country->isoCode;
+```
+
+## Exceptions ##
+
+For details on the possible errors returned by the web service itself, see
+the
+[GeoIP2 web service docs](http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip2/geoip/web-service).
+
+If the web service returns an explicit error document, this is thrown as a
+```\GeoIP2\Exception\WebServiceException```. If some other sort of transport
+error occurs, this is thrown as a ```\GeoIP2\Exception\HttpException```.
+The difference is that the web service error includes an error message and
+error code delivered by the web service. The latter is thrown when some sort
+of unanticipated error occurs, such as the web service returning a 500 or an
+invalid error document.
+
+If the web service returns any status code besides 200, 4xx, or 5xx, this also
+becomes a ```\GeoIP2\Exception\HttpException```.
+
+Finally, if the web service returns a 200 but the body is invalid, the client
+throws a ```\GeoIP2\Exception\GeoIP2Exception```.
+
+## What data is returned? ##
+
+While many of the end points return the same basic records, the attributes
+which can be populated vary between end points. In addition, while an end
+point may offer a particular piece of data, MaxMind does not always have every
+piece of data for any given IP address.
+
+Because of these factors, it is possible for any end point to return a record
+where some or all of the attributes are unpopulated.
+
+See the
+[GeoIP2 web service docs](http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/web-services)
+for details on what data each end point may return.
+
+The only piece of data which is always returned is the ```ipAddress```
+attribute in the ``GeoIP2\Record\Traits`` record.
+
+Every record class attribute has a corresponding predicate method so you can
+check to see if the attribute is set.
+
+## Integration with GeoNames ##
+
+[GeoNames](http://www.geonames.org/) offers web services and downloadable
+databases with data on geographical features around the world, including
+populated places. They offer both free and paid premium data. Each
+feature is unique identified by a ```geonameId```, which is an integer.
+
+Many of the records returned by the GeoIP2 web services and databases
+include a ```geonameId``` property. This is the ID of a geographical feature
+(city, region, country, etc.) in the GeoNames database.
+
+Some of the data that MaxMind provides is also sourced from GeoNames. We
+source things like place names, ISO codes, and other similar data from
+the GeoNames premium data set.
+
+## Reporting data problems ##
+
+If the problem you find is that an IP address is incorrectly mapped,
+please
+[submit your correction to MaxMind](http://www.maxmind.com/en/correction).
+
+If you find some other sort of mistake, like an incorrect spelling,
+please check the [GeoNames site](http://www.geonames.org/) first. Once
+you've searched for a place and found it on the GeoNames map view, there
+are a number of links you can use to correct data ("move", "edit",
+"alternate names", etc.). Once the correction is part of the GeoNames
+data set, it will be automatically incorporated into future MaxMind
+releases.
+
+If you are a paying MaxMind customer and you're not sure where to submit
+a correction, please
+[contact MaxMind support](http://www.maxmind.com/en/support) for help.
