Question

I was wondering if there is an API that will allow me to insert a 100 or more IP addresses separated by a new line, trace them retrieve their info all in one push of a button? At the moment I am using a free API but I cannot figure out if it can trace multiple IP addresses and if so, how?

Here is the API url: http://www.ipaddressapi.com/

and here is the url where I enter the IP address at the end of it:

http://www.ipaddressapi.com/l/55ffa3e1bb4f123a2e0e21bf30a6731fec615a69b682?h=45.0.0.0

I tried doing it like this

http://www.ipaddressapi.com/l/55ffa3e1bb4f123a2e0e21bf30a6731fec615a69b682?h=45.0.0.0&47.0.0.0 (Adding & then the second IP address) but that didn’t work either. Any suggestions or thoughts?

Answer 1

Just do something like the following:

Loop through your ip addresses:

For Each s as String in MyAddresses
    'Add the ip address on the end of the url you wish to get the data for:
    Dim result as string = GetWebPageAsString(New Uri("http://someaddress.com?" + s))
    'parse result however you need to here
Next

A function to get web page as a string

Public Shared Function GetWebPageString(ByVal address As Uri) As String
    Try
        Using client As New Net.WebClient()
            Return client.DownloadString(address)
        End Using
    Catch ex As System.Exception
        Return ""
    End Try
End Function
