Let’s see how we can use it to get 3 easy to use API free geolocation JSON.
How does geolocation work?
It is quite simple as you are probably already aware. Your IP address identifies your device’s location and can be used to determine where users are connecting from on the internet. It is easiest to comprehend by comparing it with the address of your home or business. It is a unique code that identifies where you are and how to connect with you.
Since every device connected to the web has one, it works the same way as giving everyone in a group of people their own number so they can be individually identified. So, the IP address is like the number all of us carry with us on the way to work or school.
What is an IP address?
An IP address is a unique identifier for each device on the Internet that is intended to identify host machines on an internet protocol network. With this simple definition, let’s take a look at what it means in more details:
IP – Internet Protocol: There are several different protocols that enable communication between computers on an internet network. IP represents one of them and it is used by most devices we connect to the internet, such as computers, smartphones, and tablets. Address – Each device connected to the internet has an IP address assigned to it. This is a unique number that identifies and distinguishes all of them from each other. Network – An internet network is a group of computers connected to each other by means of a communication channel or physical cable (electrical). There are several kinds of networks, but in this context I’m talking about LANs (Local Area Network), WANs (Wide Area Network), etc… Device – or Host machine: In this case, I’m talking about your computer, laptop, tablet or mobile phone…
