Ruby: Parsing an IP List to Send to IpInfoDB

July 19, 2009

lock-binary-blue-620x390

The code below does the following:

  1. Read a list of IPs

  2. Send each line (IP) to the ipinfodb web service

  3. Parse the XML result

  4. Display it

  5. Write it to a CSV file for import into Excel

[ruby]require ‘rubygems’require ‘hpricot’require ‘open-uri’file = File.open(‘/Users/daniel/Development/newfile’, ‘w’)File.open(‘/Users/daniel/Development/ips’).each { |line| doc = Hpricot(open(“http://ipinfodb.com/ip_query.php?ip=#{line}”)) (doc/’response’).each do|el| ip = (el/’ip’).inner_html country = (el/’countryname’).inner_html state = (el/’regionname’).inner_html city = (el/’city’).inner_html puts “#{ip},#{country},#{state},#{city}” file.puts “#{ip},#{country},#{state},#{city}” file.flush end}[/ruby]

[ UPDATE: Improved the code. And here’s the output. The IPs were from my recent Apache logs. ]
