Introduction

In this guide we’ll walk through the process of linking Cerb to ipstack. You’ll be able to use ipstack’s API from automations to perform geolocation.

Let’s assume we have a list of client IP addresses and want to plot them on a map to visualize where activity is coming from.

First, it’s important to acknowledge that locations derived from IP addresses are approximate. Clients may be using VPNs, proxies, third party services, etc. The location may be an ISP, or the contact information for the registered owner of a block of IP addresses.

Sign up at ipstack

Like geocoding, IP-based geolocation uses a large dataset. It wouldn’t make sense to ship this with Cerb, so we’ll be using an API from ipstack.

You can sign up for a free API key at ipstack and make 1,000 IP location requests per month at no cost.

Once you sign up, make a note of your API Access Key so you can use it within Cerb.

Create the connected account in Cerb

In Cerb, navigate to Search » Connected Services » (+) and select IPstack from the Library.

Paste your API Access Key from above.
