# IP to ASN

[![Npm package version](https://badgen.net/npm/v/asn-from-ip)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/asn-from-ip)
[![Npm package yearly downloads](https://badgen.net/npm/dy/asn-from-ip)](https://npmjs.com/package/asn-from-ip)

This tiny package allows you to obtain ASN meta information for any IP address. Some IP addresses are of course not assigned to an ASN.

## Installation

```bash
npm install asn-from-ip
```

If you want to clone the repository directly from GitHub instead:

```bash
git clone [email protected]:ipapi-is/ip_to_asn.git
```

## Usage from Node.js

Lookup the IP address `95.91.211.148`:

```JavaScript
const { ipToASN } = require('asn-from-ip');

(async () => {
console.log(await ipToASN('95.91.211.148'));
})();
```

which outputs (at the time of writing):

```JavaScript
{
asn: 3209,
route: '95.88.0.0/14',
descr: 'VODANET International IP-Backbone of Vodafone, DE',
country: 'de',
active: true,
org: 'Vodafone GmbH',
domain: 'vodafone.com',
abuse: '[email protected]',
type: 'isp',
created: '2002-09-11',
updated: '2023-10-12',
rir: 'ripe',
whois: 'https://api.ipapi.is/?whois=AS3209'
}
```

Most IP addresses can be associated with an Autonomeous System (AS). The return value of `ipToASN()` is an object with the following attributes:

- `asn` - `int` - The AS number
- `route` - `string` - The IP route as CIDR in this AS
- `descr` - `string` - An informational description of the AS
- `country` - `string` - The country where the AS is situated in (administratively)
- `active` - `string` - Whether the AS is active (active = at least one route administred by the AS)
- `domain` - `string` - The domain of the organization to which this AS belongs
- `org` - `string` - The organization responisible for this AS
- `type` - `string` - The type for this ASN, this is either `hosting`, `education`, `goverment`, `banking`, `business` or `isp`
- `created` - `string` - When the ASN was established
- `updated` - `string` - The last time the ASN was updated
- `rir` - `string` - To which Regional Internet Registry the ASN belongs
- `whois` - `string` - An url to the whois information for this ASN

For inactive autonomeous systems, most of the above information is not available.

## Usage from the Browser

Copy the browser JavaScript bundle to your preferred location. After installing the module with

```bash
npm install asn-from-ip
```

you can find the minified JavaScript here: `node_modules/asn-from-ip/dist/ipToASN.min.js`

```html


IP to ASN Example Browser





ipToASN('95.91.211.148').then((res) => {
document.getElementById('asn').innerText = JSON.stringify(res, null, 2);
});

```

## Use the Database Directly

This package uses the [ipapi.is API](https://ipapi.is/developers.html) in order to avoid shipping a huge database in the npm module. If you have a large volume of IP addresses to lookup, you can download the full & free [ASN Database](https://ipapi.is/asn.html).
