How do I call IPRout with TypeScript?
This example looks up 8.8.8.8 unless the client example uses /ip to demonstrate caller lookup. Replace only the route when switching modes.
type IpInfo = { ip: string; country: string; country_code: string; city: string | null; asn: number | null };
const response = await fetch("https://api.iprout.com/ip/8.8.8.8", {
headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.IPROUT_API_KEY}` },
signal: AbortSignal.timeout(10000),
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`IPRout HTTP ${response.status}`);
const data = (await response.json()) as IpInfo;How do I look up the caller instead?
Keep the headers and error handling unchanged, but request https://api.iprout.com/ip with no address after /ip.
What does production code need?
Keep the key server-side, use a finite timeout, inspect HTTP status before decoding success data, and handle 401, 422, 429, and transient 500 responses.
- Read IPROUT_API_KEY from a secret environment
- Do not retry 401 or 422 automatically
- Use bounded backoff for transient server or network failures
