WIPmania API - Get IP Geolocation

I'd like to use WIPmania's API to map IP address. http://www.wipmania.com/en/api/

Does anyone know how to grab the value returned in PHP?

For example the url (http://api.wipmania.com/123.45.67.89?google.com) returns the country code KR.

If it was returning an XML file I'd be alright, but this has confused me.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for spreading WIPmania, didn't knew about their web-services. To answer your question:

$country = file_get_contents('http://api.wipmania.com/123.45.67.89?google.com'); // KR

No, ipinfodb.com isn't accurate because based on maxmind. See http://www.wipmania.com/en/blog/why-worldip-data-rather-than-whois-data-examples/

You can work easy with Wipmania API: www.wipmania.com/en/blog/source-code-to-access-to-api/

Ah I found a better service that returns an XML file - apparently it's more accurate too.

FYI - http://ipinfodb.com/ip_location_api.php
