Get current seeder's IP addresses of a torrent using PHP

Question

I am working on a BitTorrent like thing. How can I show the current seeder's IP address and their country flag the way it is shown in BitTorrent client?

Answer 1

There are two largely separate parts - querying the torrent tracker for the seeders IP, and reverse-geocoding the IP addresses to determine the country.

The reverse-geocoding part is a common thing, and easily done. This question lists several options, and this one is similar, but specifically for PHP

The torrent-tracker-querying part is a bit more complicated, due to the various types of torrent trackers. This question explains what you need to do
