IP2Location

This Haskell package provides a fast lookup of country, region, city, latitude, longitude, ZIP code, time zone, ISP, domain name, connection type, IDD code, area code, weather station code, weather station name, mcc, mnc, mobile brand, elevation, and usage type from IP address by using IP2Location database. This package uses a file based database available at IP2Location.com. This database simply contains IP blocks as keys, and other information such as country, region, city, latitude, longitude, ZIP code, time zone, ISP, domain name, connection type, IDD code, area code, weather station code, weather station name, mcc, mnc, mobile brand, elevation, and usage type as values. It supports both IP addresses in IPv4 and IPv6.
