Get Location by Ip

This document describes a global function that returns the country name based on the device's IP address. It uses an external API to get location data by IP. The function first checks secure storage for a cached country name, and if not found, calls the API, caches the result, and returns the country name. It provides an example response and function implementation.

Global function to get the country :

How it works ?

1
 apiip API returns more than 40 unique data
points, such as location data, and that what we
2
need.
in the function body we test if the country
to use this service,we have to get the ip Name is stored in Storage using
address of the device and the accessKey and FlutterSecureStorage, if its then return the
the put them in a url like this: stored data ,
http://apiip.net/api/check?ip=67.250.186.196
&accessKey=ef7b5d33-cbff-4a3e-841f-c414a72fb3c0 If not ,then we call the uri and get a
response,
Check the response status if its successfully
the key we put it in the global variables connected (status code = 200 ) then get then
accessKey=« ef7b5d33-cbff-4a3e-841f- decode the response body to get the country
c414a72fb3c0 »;
Name and store it in storage , else throw an
exception,
and the ip address we get it using this url:
'https://api.ipify.org'
