Overview
This node integrates with the 高德地图 (Amap) API, specifically providing location-based services such as IP address geolocation. The "IP定位" (IP Location) operation under the "基础API" (Basic API) resource allows users to determine the geographic location of a given IP address within China. If no IP address is provided, the node attempts to locate the client based on the HTTP request's originating IP.
Common scenarios for this node include:
- Enriching user data with geographic information based on their IP.
- Customizing content or services depending on the user's location.
- Logging and analytics that require IP-based location tagging.
Example use case: A marketing automation workflow that segments users by city or province based on their IP addresses to send targeted promotions.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| IP地址 | The IP address to search for location (only supports domestic Chinese IPs). If left empty, the node uses the client's HTTP request IP for geolocation. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the geolocation details corresponding to the IP address queried. This typically includes fields such as province, city, district, and possibly coordinates or other administrative information returned by the Amap API.
If the node supports binary data output, it would generally relate to map images or related media, but based on the provided code and properties, the output is primarily JSON-formatted location data.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for the 高德地图 (Amap) service.
- The node expects the base URL and authentication credentials to be configured in n8n for accessing the Amap API.
- Network access to the Amap API endpoints is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Empty or invalid IP address: If the IP property is empty and the node cannot detect the client's IP from the HTTP request, the operation may fail or return inaccurate results.
- Unsupported IP addresses: Only domestic (China) IP addresses are supported; querying international IPs may result in errors or empty responses.
- API key issues: Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
- Rate limiting: Exceeding the allowed number of requests to the Amap API can lead to throttling or temporary blocks.
- Error messages: Common errors might include HTTP status errors or JSON parsing errors if the response format changes. Ensuring correct API credentials and valid input IPs usually resolves these.
