XML Geolocation Web Service

The XML Geolocation web service API 1) allows you to directly program your back-end scripts to deliver dynamic geo-localized pages using the XML elements provided by geoPlugin.

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


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


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

Example output of an XML query for your IP address (3.236.86.184) is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

	<geoplugin_request>3.236.86.184</geoplugin_request>

XML Geolocation Currency Converter

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/xml.gp?base_currency=EUR

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


The base_currency value must be a valid ISO 4217 3-letter code.
