🌍 IPCAP CLI
============
Perform IP lookup from the command line without internet access. Retrieve information
about IP addresses, including details such as city, region, country, location, etc.To install ipcap, use the following Cargo command:
cargo install --locked ipcap --all-featuresDownload the city databases, v4 and v6 from the repository using this command:
# IPV4 database
curl -LS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiseaidev/ipcap/main/data/geo_ip_city_v4.dat --create-dirs -o ~/.local/share/ipcap/geo_ip_city_v4.dat
# IPV6 database
curl -LS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiseaidev/ipcap/main/data/geo_ip_city_v6.dat --create-dirs -o ~/.local/share/ipcap/geo_ip_city_v6.datThis will download the data/geo_ip_city_v4.dat and or data/geo_ip_city_v4.dat database(s) from the repository and put it under ~/.local/share/ipcap/.
If, for some reason, you decide to change this file location, just set this environment variable to help the CLI read this file. To set the environment variable before running your Rust program, you can do something like:
# IPV4 database
export IPCAP_FILE_PATH=/your/custom/path/geo_ip_city_v4.dat
# IPV6 database
export IPCAP_FILE_PATH=/your/custom/path/geo_ip_city_v6.datReplace /your/custom/path/geo_ip_city_v4.dat with the desired file path. If the environment variable is not set, the program will use the default path (/home/username/ipcap/geo_ip_city_v4.dat).
Note
The default location to find the databases is ~/Library/Application Support/ipcap/ on macOS, and C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\ipcap\ on Windows.
Note
The databases were shamelessly taken from the fedora website at https://src.fedoraproject.org/repo/pkgs/GeoIP-GeoLite-data/.

This dataset provides geolocation information, featuring diverse locations, numeric codes, and associated details. Place names, such as "Shek Kip Mei" and "Chiang Mai," and numeric codes, postal codes, contribute to the dataset's geographical context. Additionally, metadata elements like "GEO-533LITE" and a copyright statement suggest a connection to the MaxMind geolocation database. The dataset aims to offer insights into the geographical distribution of locations and is potentially valuable for geospatial analysis, like this project.
