what amount of requests can it handle. my requirement is a million requests per minute
Everything is loaded and requested locally. The API can handle as many requests as your machine can handle. There is no restricting on limitation set by the project. So as long as your web server can handle a million requests a minute then there is no reason why the project could fail.

Providing UA and OS informations is a little bit pointless.
Using the User Agent to grab the browser and operating system is useful for people who want to track what proportion of their users are running what. It can help to identify possible problems that they could be having, it can be used to monitor unusual activity or most likely, used for analytics of your user base.
We understand not everyone will have a use for all the features, but as it is an API, you are more than welcome to use only what parts are relevant to you.

Do you take these informations from an external API? Because i can’t imagine how you can return the OS and the UA of an IP address, if it has never visited your website.
And if you return this information, you may also return a timestamp that indicates, how old this information is.
There is no external API. This tool is an IP and User Agent (UA) lookup tool. Which means you can enter in the IP address and user agent of your user to return their data (which you can then use to store inside a database for later use). You can grab your user’s IP and UA by accessing PHP’s $_SERVER array and then after this you can implement the API how you wish.

That makes it more pointless, because what if you lookup an ip address that has never visited your website so that you never got an UA? You will return the current visitors UA and OS.
The majority of people who asked for this tool to be made wanted a simple API where they could query their users data. If you are just searching for an IP address lookup then all you need to worry about is the IP address information returned in the API. If you want to search for the User Agent as well then it’s there for your implementation.
This tool is made as a product that you can modify (as many tools are on CodeCanyon). It is up to you how you use and work with it inside your system.
The purpose you’re suggesting that you want to use this tool for is primarily to look up IP address as a search tool, rather than any integration into your user’s data. Which is perfectly fine and will work for what you are looking for.
Hope I’ve helped clear up any confusion you may have SoftCreatR.

Very nice… Would it be possible to add the ISP? Also does it use any third party connections to grab this information?
The current release of the project does not use any external resources to load the returned data, this allows the requests to be returned quicker and with a less chance of fail.
If it is an interest to you for us to add ISP’s and other data then let us know and we will review it, but that will require a third party connection and slow down the requests.

I dont doubt your software bro what i mean is is the main database hosted with you or with some other service provider because rest all player keep a cap on api calls
Sorry if our last reply came off defensive. What we were trying to explain is that yes, everything is hosted internally, along with the database. So you won’t face any API rate limiting or caps on requests.
Let us know if you need anymore help

good job , very nice
Thanks Eric
As it does not request anything externally, how do you get the geo location?
The geo location is given by the GeoLight database which is included inside the project.

Can you provide a database schema dump? Thanks!
Also, how large (in file size) is the database?
You can view the databases here. This project uses the GeoLite Country database. We decided to use geolite as a database because it allows royalty-free distribution and having a database locally saves a lot of bandwidth while also allowing much faster request than an external API. This database is updated on their site once a month (the first Tuesday of the month).

Looks interesting. Will be getting my hands on them to try out soon.
Good luck with your sales.

Hi, i think it will be good to import the database in a mysql.
We have provided the database in its original format, if you wish to change it then that is fine. But for future updates, keeping it in its current form will work best.

Your demo is showing the wrong IP address since you’re using Cloudflare without your webserver properly configured. Just wanted to tell you.
Very good spot! We’ll take a look at it and make the fixes, thanks for pointing that out Riley.
How do you do? Can you provide your demo home page source code to me?
Could you explain in more detail what you mean?
The demo page is included in the source code.

Nice work. Good luck!
Thanks, we appreciate the positive comment!
Hi i want the riderect page to file index.php on folder docs that can?
Hey Tommy, Where do you want to redirect from? You can use a .htaccess file to handle the redirect or change the folder structure so that the user loads the file inside the docs from the route of your project. Let us know if you need anymore help.
