The ASP web service¹⁾ allows you to directly program your back-end ASP scripts to deliver dynamic geo-localized pages using the ASP elements provided by geoPlugin.

To access this service, add the following url to a remote include call

http://www.geoplugin.net/asp.gp?ip=xx.xx.xx.xx

Of course, substitute the xx's with your visitor's IP number.

Example output of an ASP query output for your IP address (50.16.36.153) is:

geoplugin_request=@0"50.16.36.153"@1geoplugin_status=@2"200"@3geoplugin_credit=@4"Some of the returned data includes GeoLite data created by MaxMind, available from http://www.maxmind.com."@5geoplugin_city=@6"Ashburn"@7geoplugin_region=@8"VA"@9geoplugin_areaCode=@10"703"@11geoplugin_dmaCode=@12"511"@13geoplugin_countryCode=@14"US"@15geoplugin_countryName=@16"United States"@17geoplugin_continentCode=@18"NA"@19geoplugin_latitude=@20"39.043701"@21geoplugin_longitude=@22"-77.487503"@23geoplugin_regionCode=@24"VA"@25geoplugin_regionName=@26"Virginia"@27geoplugin_currencyCode=@28"USD"@29geoplugin_currencySymbol=@30"$"@31geoplugin_currencySymbol_UTF8=@32"$"@33geoplugin_currencyConverter=@34"1"@35

Many thanks to Savas for getting the ASP webservice working!

The “geoplugin_currencyConverter” element is the conversion rate for the currency converter base currency.
Like all calls to any of geoPlugin's web services, the default base_currency is USD ($US).
Thus, if your base currency is NOT $US, then you must add the variable base_currency=XXX to the call to geoplugin.net eg

http://www.geoplugin.net/asp.gp?base_currency=EUR

Now the geoplugin_currencyConverter element will output the exchange rate of one Euro for your visitor.
