This tiny package allows you to obtain ASN meta information for any IP address. Some IP addresses are of course not assigned to an ASN.
```bash
npm install asn-from-ip
```
If you want to clone the repository directly from GitHub instead:
```bash
git clone git@github.com:ipapi-is/ip_to_asn.git
```
Lookup the IP address `95.91.211.148`:
```JavaScript
const { ipToASN } = require('asn-from-ip');
(async () => {
console.log(await ipToASN('95.91.211.148'));
})();
```
which outputs (at the time of writing):
```JavaScript
{
asn: 3209,
route: '95.88.0.0/14',
descr: 'VODANET International IP-Backbone of Vodafone, DE',
country: 'de',
active: true,
org: 'Vodafone GmbH',
domain: 'vodafone.com',
abuse: 'abuse.de@vodafone.com',
type: 'isp',
created: '2002-09-11',
updated: '2023-10-12',
rir: 'ripe',
whois: 'https://api.ipapi.is/?whois=AS3209'
}
```
Most IP addresses can be associated with an Autonomeous System (AS). The return value of `ipToASN()` is an object with the following attributes:
- `asn` - `int` - The AS number
- `route` - `string` - The IP route as CIDR in this AS
- `descr` - `string` - An informational description of the AS
- `country` - `string` - The country where the AS is situated in (administratively)
- `active` - `string` - Whether the AS is active (active = at least one route administred by the AS)
- `domain` - `string` - The domain of the organization to which this AS belongs
- `org` - `string` - The organization responisible for this AS
- `type` - `string` - The type for this ASN, this is either `hosting`, `education`, `goverment`, `banking`, `business` or `isp`
- `created` - `string` - When the ASN was established
- `updated` - `string` - The last time the ASN was updated
- `rir` - `string` - To which Regional Internet Registry the ASN belongs
- `whois` - `string` - An url to the whois information for this ASN
For inactive autonomeous systems, most of the above information is not available.
## Usage from the Browser
Copy the browser JavaScript bundle to your preferred location. After installing the module with
```bash
npm install asn-from-ip
```
you can find the minified JavaScript here: `node_modules/asn-from-ip/dist/ipToASN.min.js`
```html
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>IP to ASN Example Browser</title>
<meta name="description" content="IP to ASN Example">
<meta name="author" content="ipapi.is">
</head>
<body>
<pre id="asn"></pre>
<script type="text/javascript" src="dist/ipToASN.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
ipToASN('95.91.211.148').then((res) => {
document.getElementById('asn').innerText = JSON.stringify(res, null, 2);
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
```
This package uses the [ipapi.is API](https://ipapi.is/developers.html) in order to avoid shipping a huge database in the npm module. If you have a large volume of IP addresses to lookup, you can download the full & free [ASN Database](https://ipapi.is/asn.html).
GitHub mirror of the database: [ASN Database Mirror](https://github.com/ipapi-is/ipapi/tree/main/databases)
