-ifconfig.co: Simple IP address lookup service
-=============================================
+# ifconfig.co: Simple IP address lookup service
A simple service for looking up your IP address. This is the code that powers
http://ifconfig.co
-Basic usage
-===========
+## Usage
-The usual suspects
-------------------
- $ curl ifconfig.co
- 127.0.0.1
- $ wget -q -O - ifconfig.co
- 127.0.0.1
+Just the business, please:
-BSD fetch
----------
- $ fetch -q -o - ifconfig.co
- 127.0.0.1
+```
+$ curl ifconfig.co
+127.0.0.1
+
+$ wget -qO - ifconfig.co
+127.0.0.1
+
+$ fetch -qo - ifconfig.co
+127.0.0.1
+```
+
+A specific header:
+
+```
+$ curl ifconfig.co/user-agent
+curl/7.43.0
+
+$ curl ifconfig.co/x-ifconfig-country
+Norway
+```
+
+As JSON:
+
+```
+$ curl -H 'Accept: application/json' ifconfig.co
+{
+ "x-ifconfig-ip": "127.0.0.1"
+}
+
+$ curl ifconfig.co/x-config-ip.json
+{
+ "x-ifconfig-ip": "127.0.0.1"
+}
+```
Pass the appropriate flag (usually -4 and -6) to your tool to switch between
IPv4 and IPv6 lookup.
-Features
-========
+The subdomain http://v4.ifconfig.co can be used to force IPv4 lookup.
+
+## Features
+
* Easy to remember domain name
* Supports IPv4 and IPv6
* Open source
* Fast
* Supports typical CLI tools (curl, wget and fetch)
* JSON output (optional)
+* Country lookup for IP address through the MaxMind GeoIP2 database
+
+## Why?
-Why?
-====
* To scratch an itch
* An excuse to use Go for something
* Faster than ifconfig.me and has IPv6 support
+
+## Building
+
+Compiling requires the [Golang compiler](https://golang.org/) to be installed.
+This application can be installed by using `go get`:
+
+`go get github.com/martinp/ifconfigd`
+
