geo-ip

What This Skill Does

The geo-ip skill is a powerful, lightweight utility for OpenClaw that allows users to instantly retrieve detailed geographical metadata associated with any IPv4 or IPv6 address. Leveraging the reliable ipinfo.io API, this skill translates raw network addresses into actionable intelligence, providing city, region, country, latitude, longitude, and organizational ISP details. Whether you are troubleshooting connectivity, verifying the origin of web traffic, or performing general network reconnaissance, the geo-ip skill eliminates the need for manual browser-based lookups by providing the data directly within your terminal or chat interface.

Installation

The geo-ip skill is ready for immediate use. Because it relies on standard system utilities like curl to interface with the public API, no local compilation or complex environment setup is required. To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, simply execute the following command:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/xejrax/geo-ip

Once installed, the command is immediately accessible within the OpenClaw execution environment.

Use Cases

This skill is highly versatile for developers, system administrators, and security analysts. Common use cases include:

• Incident Response: Quickly identifying the origin of suspicious login attempts or unauthorized connection probes.
• Network Auditing: Checking the geo-location of server endpoints or cloud instances to ensure data sovereignty compliance.
• Personal Connectivity: Quickly checking your own public IP address location to confirm your VPN status or ISP routing configuration.
• Context Enrichment: Adding geographic context to logs or data streams during automated analysis workflows.

Example Prompts

1. "OpenClaw, can you look up the geographic location for 8.8.8.8 and tell me the ISP?"
2. "Check where my current public IP address is located."
3. "Run a geo-lookup for 1.1.1.1 and format the coordinates for me."

Tips & Limitations

• Usage Limits: Be aware that this skill consumes the public ipinfo.io API. While sufficient for standard tasks, heavy programmatic usage may hit rate limits defined by the provider.
• Accuracy: Note that IP-based geolocation is an estimation. While highly accurate for countries and regions, city-level data can sometimes point to the location of the ISP's data center rather than the specific user location.
• Privacy: Always be mindful of the IPs you are querying; if you are investigating sensitive network data, ensure you are not violating local data privacy regulations.
