On Google Spreadsheet, how do you call the CIty, Country of an IP?

I would like to know if there is a formula/script one could use on Google Spreadsheet to obtain the City,Location of an array of IP addresses.

i.e lets imagine that each cell on column A has 100 IP addresses, what formula/script should I use on column B to get the respective city and location?

Solution

  • After some digging I've figured out how to do this.

    1. Copy the import_json_appsscript.js script on https://gist.github.com/chrislkeller/5719258. This will be the script that will create the ImportJSON() function to a Google spreadsheet

    2. Go to Google spreadsheet, on the menu bar got to Tools > Script Editor

    3. Copy paste import_json_appsscript.js into the Script Editor and save it, Double check that you can see the ImportJSON() function on the Select function drop down menu.

    4. On the Spreadsheet use function =ImportJSON(url, query, options), for example =ImportJSON("http://freegeoip.net/json/75.148.30.137", "/city", "noHeaders") to retrieve Baltimore from the FreeGeoIP call.

    Hope that helps, it certainly answers my question.
