# GeoIP2 Java API #
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/maxmind/GeoIP2-java.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/maxmind/GeoIP2-java) [![Known Vulnerabilities](https://snyk.io/test/github/maxmind/GeoIP2-java/badge.svg)](https://snyk.io/test/github/maxmind/GeoIP2-java)
## Description ##
This distribution provides an API for the GeoIP2
[Precision web services](https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/web-services) and
[databases](https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/downloadable). The API also
works with the free [GeoLite2 databases](https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/).
## Installation ##
### Maven ###
We recommend installing this package with [Maven](https://maven.apache.org/).
To do this, add the dependency to your pom.xml:
```xml
com.maxmind.geoip2
geoip2
2.12.0
```
### Gradle ###
Add the following to your `build.gradle` file:
```
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.maxmind.geoip2:geoip2:2.12.0'
}
```
### JAR Files ###
If you are unable to use Maven or Gradle, you may include the `geoip2.jar`
file and its dependencies in your classpath. Download the JAR files from the
[GitHub Releases page](https://github.com/maxmind/GeoIP2-java/releases).
## IP Geolocation Usage ##
IP geolocation is inherently imprecise. Locations are often near the center of
the population. Any location provided by a GeoIP2 database or web service
should not be used to identify a particular address or household.
## Web Service Usage ##
To use the web service API, you must create a new `WebServiceClient` using the
`WebServiceClient.Builder`. You must provide the `Builder` constructor your
MaxMind `accountId` and `licenseKey`. You may also set a `timeout`, specify a
specific `host`, or set the `locales` fallback order using the methods on the
`Builder`. After you have created the `WebServiceClient`, you may then 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.
If the request fails, the client class throws an exception.
The `WebServiceClient` object is safe to share across threads. If you are
making multiple requests, the object should be reused so that new connections
are not created for each request. Once you have finished making requests, you
should close the object to ensure the connections are closed and any
resources are promptly returned to the system.
See the API documentation for more details.
## Web Service Example ##
### Country Service ###
```java
// This creates a WebServiceClient object that is thread-safe and can be
// reused across requests. Reusing the object will allow it to keep
// connections alive for future requests. The object is closeable, but
// it should not be closed until you are finished making requests with it.
//
// Replace "42" with your account ID and "license_key" with your license key.
try (WebServiceClient client = new WebServiceClient.Builder(42, "license_key")
.build()) {
InetAddress ipAddress = InetAddress.getByName("128.101.101.101");
// Do the lookup
CountryResponse response = client.country(ipAddress);
Country country = response.getCountry();
System.out.println(country.getIsoCode()); // 'US'
System.out.println(country.getName()); // 'United States'
System.out.println(country.getNames().get("zh-CN")); // '美国'
}
```
### City Service ###
```java
// This creates a WebServiceClient object that is thread-safe and can be
// reused across requests. Reusing the object will allow it to keep
// connections alive for future requests. The object is closeable, but
// it should not be closed until you are finished making requests with it.
//
// Replace "42" with your account ID and "license_key" with your license key.
try (WebServiceClient client = new WebServiceClient.Builder(42, "license_key")
.build()) {
InetAddress ipAddress = InetAddress.getByName("128.101.101.101");
// Do the lookup
CityResponse response = client.city(ipAddress);
Country country = response.getCountry();
System.out.println(country.getIsoCode()); // 'US'
System.out.println(country.getName()); // 'United States'
System.out.println(country.getNames().get("zh-CN")); // '美国'
Subdivision subdivision = response.getMostSpecificSubdivision();
System.out.println(subdivision.getName()); // 'Minnesota'
System.out.println(subdivision.getIsoCode()); // 'MN'
City city = response.getCity();
System.out.println(city.getName()); // 'Minneapolis'
Postal postal = response.getPostal();
System.out.println(postal.getCode()); // '55455'
Location location = response.getLocation();
System.out.println(location.getLatitude()); // 44.9733
System.out.println(location.getLongitude()); // -93.2323
}
```
### Insights Service ###
```java
// This creates a WebServiceClient object that is thread-safe and can be
// reused across requests. Reusing the object will allow it to keep
// connections alive for future requests. The object is closeable, but
// it should not be closed until you are finished making requests with it.
//
// Replace "42" with your account ID and "license_key" with your license key.
try (WebServiceClient client = new WebServiceClient.Builder(42, "license_key")
.build()) {
InetAddress ipAddress = InetAddress.getByName("128.101.101.101");
// Do the lookup
InsightsResponse response = client.insights(ipAddress);
Country country = response.getCountry();
System.out.println(country.getIsoCode()); // 'US'
System.out.println(country.getName()); // 'United States'
System.out.println(country.getNames().get("zh-CN")); // '美国'
System.out.println(country.getConfidence()); // 99
Subdivision subdivision = response.getMostSpecificSubdivision();
System.out.println(subdivision.getName()); // 'Minnesota'
System.out.println(subdivision.getIsoCode()); // 'MN'
System.out.println(subdivision.getConfidence()); // 90
City city = response.getCity();
System.out.println(city.getName()); // 'Minneapolis'
System.out.println(city.getConfidence()); // 50
Postal postal = response.getPostal();
System.out.println(postal.getCode()); // '55455'
System.out.println(postal.getConfidence()); // 40
Location location = response.getLocation();
System.out.println(location.getLatitude()); // 44.9733
System.out.println(location.getLongitude()); // -93.2323
System.out.println(location.getAccuracyRadius()); // 3
System.out.println(location.getTimeZone()); // 'America/Chicago'
System.out.println(response.getTraits().getUserType()); // 'college'
}
```
## Database Usage ##
To use the database API, you must create a new `DatabaseReader` using the
`DatabaseReader.Builder`. You must provide the `Builder` constructor either an
`InputStream` or `File` for your GeoIP2 database. You may also specify the
`fileMode` and the `locales` fallback order using the methods on the `Builder`
object. After you have created the `DatabaseReader`, you may then call the
appropriate method (e.g., `city`) for your database, passing it the IP address
you want to look up.
If the lookup succeeds, the method call will return a response class for the
GeoIP2 lookup. The class in turn contains multiple record classes, each of
which represents part of the data returned by the database.
We recommend reusing the `DatabaseReader` object rather than creating a new
one for each lookup. The creation of this object is relatively expensive as it
must read in metadata for the file. It is safe to share the object across
threads.
See the API documentation for more details.
### Caching ###
The database API supports pluggable caching (by default, no caching is
performed). A simple implementation is provided by `com.maxmind.db.CHMCache`.
Using this cache, lookup performance is significantly improved at the cost of
a small (~2MB) memory overhead.
Usage:
```java
new DatabaseReader.Builder(file).withCache(new CHMCache()).build();
```
### Packaging Database in a JAR ###
If you are packaging the database file as a resource in a JAR file using
Maven, you must
[disable binary file filtering](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/examples/binaries-filtering.html).
Failure to do so will result in `InvalidDatabaseException` exceptions being
thrown when querying the database.
## Database Example ##
### City ###
```java
// A File object pointing to your GeoIP2 or GeoLite2 database
File database = new File("/path/to/GeoIP2-City.mmdb");
// This creates the DatabaseReader object. To improve performance, reuse
// the object across lookups. The object is thread-safe.
DatabaseReader reader = new DatabaseReader.Builder(database).build();
InetAddress ipAddress = InetAddress.getByName("128.101.101.101");
// Replace "city" with the appropriate method for your database, e.g.,
// "country".
CityResponse response = reader.city(ipAddress);
Country country = response.getCountry();
System.out.println(country.getIsoCode()); // 'US'
System.out.println(country.getName()); // 'United States'
System.out.println(country.getNames().get("zh-CN")); // '美国'
Subdivision subdivision = response.getMostSpecificSubdivision();
System.out.println(subdivision.getName()); // 'Minnesota'
System.out.println(subdivision.getIsoCode()); // 'MN'
City city = response.getCity();
System.out.println(city.getName()); // 'Minneapolis'
Postal postal = response.getPostal();
System.out.println(postal.getCode()); // '55455'

```
## Exceptions ##
For details on the possible errors returned by the web service itself, [see
the GeoIP2 Precision web service
documentation](https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip2/geoip/web-services).
If the web service returns an explicit error document, this is thrown as an
`AddressNotFoundException`, an `AuthenticationException`, an
`InvalidRequestException`, or an `OutOfQueriesException`.
If some sort of transport error occurs, an `HttpException` is thrown. This
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
request returns any status code besides 200, 4xx, or 5xx, this also becomes
an `HttpException`.
Finally, if the web service returns a 200 but the body is invalid, the client
throws a `GeoIp2Exception`. This exception also is the parent exception to
the above exceptions.
## Values to use for Database or Map Keys ##
**We strongly discourage you from using a value from any `getNames` method as
a key in a database or map.**
These names may change between releases. Instead we recommend using one of the
following:
* `com.maxmind.geoip2.record.City` - `City.getGeoNameId`
* `com.maxmind.geoip2.record.Continent` - `Continent.getCode` or `Continent.getGeoNameId`
* `com.maxmind.geoip2.record.Country` and `com.maxmind.geoip2.record.RepresentedCountry` - `Country.getIsoCode` or `Country.getGeoNameId`
* `com.maxmind.geoip2.record.Subdivision` - `Subdivision.getIsoCode` or `Subdivision.getGeoNameId`
## Multi-Threaded Use ##
This API fully supports use in multi-threaded applications. When using the
`DatabaseReader` or the `WebServiceClient` in a multi-threaded application,
we suggest creating one object and sharing that across threads.
## 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 our web-service developer
documentation](https://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 `ip_address`
available at `lookup.getTraits().getIpAddress()`.
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 uniquely identified by a `geonameId`, which is an integer.
Many of the records returned by the GeoIP2 web services and databases
include a `getGeoNameId()` method. 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](https://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]
(https://www.maxmind.com/en/support) for help.
## Other Support ##
