GeoIP2 - PHP API for MaxMind's GeoIP2 Precision web services and GeoIP2
|
|
databases
|
|
|
|
VERSION
|
|
version 0.01
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
Currently, this distribution provides an API for the GeoIP2 Precision web
|
|
services (as documented at http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/precision).
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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 "geoname_id", which is an integer.
|
|
|
|
Many of the records returned by the GeoIP2 web services and databases
|
|
include a "geoname_id" field. 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 at
|
|
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 at
|
|
http://www.maxmind.com/en/support for help.
