# mmdb-server

mmdb-server is an open source fast API server to lookup IP addresses for their geographic location, AS number. The server can be used with any [MaxMind DB File Format](https://maxmind.github.io/MaxMind-DB/) or file in the same format.

mmdb-server includes a free and open [GeoOpen-Country database](https://data.public.lu/fr/datasets/geo-open-ip-address-geolocation-per-country-in-mmdb-format/) for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. The file [GeoOpen-Country](https://cra.circl.lu/opendata/geo-open/mmdb-country/) and [GeoOpen-Country-ASN](https://cra.circl.lu/opendata/geo-open/mmdb-country-asn/) are generated on a regular basis from AS announces and their respective whois records.

# Installation

Python 3.10+ is required to run the mmdb-server with poetry.

- `curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -`
- Log out and Log in again
- `poetry install`
- `cp ./etc/server.conf.sample ./etc/server.conf`
- `cd ./db; bash update.sh; cd ..` (to get the latest version of the GeoOpen database)
- `poetry run serve`

# Usage

## Lookup of an IP address

`curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8000/geolookup/188.65.220.25 | jq .`

# Output format

The output format is an array of JSON object (to support the ability to serve multiple geo location database). Each JSON object of the JSON array includes a `meta`, `country`, `ip` and `country_info` fields. The `country` give the geographic location of the IP address queried. The `meta` field includes the origin of the MMDB database which the the metadata. `ip` returns the queried IP address. `country_info` gives additional information about the country such as `Country`, `Alpha-2 code`, `Alpha-3 code`, `Numeric code`, Latitude and Longitude (average centric value).
