<?php
require_once  __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

use WhoisApi\SimpleGeoip\Builders\ClientBuilder;


$builder = new ClientBuilder();

$client = $builder->build('your API_KEY');

try {
    echo $client->getRawData('8.8.8.8', 'json') . PHP_EOL;
    echo print_r($client->get('8.8.8.8'), 1) . PHP_EOL;
    
    $result = $client->get('1.1.1.1');
    echo 'IP: ' . $result->ip . PHP_EOL;
    echo 'Country: ' . $result->location->country . PHP_EOL;
    echo 'Region: ' . $result->location->region . PHP_EOL;
    echo 'City: ' . $result->location->city . PHP_EOL;
    echo 'Latitude: ' . $result->location->lat . PHP_EOL;
    echo 'Longitude: ' . $result->location->lng . PHP_EOL;
    echo 'Postal Code: ' . $result->location->postalCode . PHP_EOL;
    echo 'Timezone: ' . $result->location->timezone . PHP_EOL;
} catch (\Throwable $exception) {
    echo "Error: {$exception->getCode()} {$exception->getMessage()}" . PHP_EOL;
}
