There is a MUCH easier way to get the Geographic information.

$ curl https://ipinfo.io/json

In my case it returns:

{
   "ip": "187.113.8.100",
   "hostname": "187.113.8.100.static.host.gvt.net.br",
   "city": "Campo Grande",
   "region": "Mato Grosso do Sul",
   "country": "BR",
   "loc": "-20.4428,-54.6464",
   "org": "AS18881 TELEFÔNICA BRASIL S.A",
   "postal": "79000-000",
   "timezone": "America/Campo_Grande",
   "readme": "https://ipinfo.io/missingauth"
}

gip -g prints the geo location for the IP address. The tool is available at GitHub: https://github.com/softhub-software-development/gip.

In reply to Jeff H Silverman. Hi Jeff, You can also pass the -r option to jq to get rid of the quotation marks. No need for sed! :) Kelly

I created a command-line tool called jc that JSONifies the output of many common Linux CLI tools for piping into jq. No need to parse with sed/awk/grep/tr/cut/etc. :) For example:

$ ifconfig | jc --ifconfig | jq ...

https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc I'll be adding more parsers to make life easier for cli jockeys!
