Interact with Invertexto API

Actions14

Overview

This node interacts with the Invertexto API to perform various data transformations and lookups. Specifically, for the IP Lookup - Lookup operation, it retrieves geographical and related information about a given IP address. This can be useful in scenarios such as:

  • Enriching user data with location details based on their IP.
  • Fraud detection by verifying if an IP address originates from an expected region.
  • Logging and analytics to understand traffic sources.

For example, you could input an IP address like 8.8.8.8 and get back details such as country, city, ISP, or other geo-related metadata.

Properties

Name Meaning
IP Address The IP address to lookup. If left empty, the node will use the IP address of the request itself (your own IP). Example: 8.8.8.8.

Output

The output is a JSON object containing the IP address information returned by the Invertexto API. This typically includes geographic details such as country, region, city, latitude, longitude, ISP, and possibly other metadata related to the IP address.

The exact structure depends on the API response but generally provides comprehensive IP geolocation data.

The node does not output binary data for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active API key credential for the Invertexto API.
  • The node makes HTTP GET requests to https://api.invertexto.com/v1/geoip/{ip} endpoint.
  • Proper network connectivity to the external API service is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Empty or invalid IP address: If the IP address property is empty, the node uses your own IP. If you provide an invalid IP format, the API may return an error or no data.
  • API authentication errors: Ensure that the API key credential is correctly configured and valid. Authentication failures will result in error messages from the API.
  • Rate limiting or service downtime: The external API might limit requests or be temporarily unavailable, causing errors or timeouts.
  • Malformed responses: Rarely, unexpected API changes or network issues might cause parsing errors.

To resolve these issues:

  • Double-check the IP address format.
  • Verify API key validity and permissions.
  • Monitor API usage limits.
  • Check network connectivity and retry later if needed.
