Introduction🔗
The Getting Started Console examples show how to call 51Degrees IP Intelligence from a standalone command-line program. They are the shortest end-to-end walkthrough for the engine: build a pipeline, hand it an IP address, and print the resulting properties such as country, region, city, ASN, registered name, estimated bandwidth and connection type. Use them as the starting point for batch enrichment, ad-hoc lookups, automation scripts, or as a sanity check before wiring the pipeline into a larger application.
Two deployment models are covered:
- Cloud calls our hosted service over HTTPS. Configure the pipeline with a Resource Key. You do not need a local data file. See IP Intelligence cloud console quick start.
- On-premise runs the IP Intelligence engine in your process with a local data file. Use it when network access is restricted or latency is a priority. See IP Intelligence on-premise console quick start.
Each example follows the same pattern in every language it is written in, so the same logic can be compared side by side. If you intend to deploy inside a web framework rather than a console, see IP Intelligence web quick start instead.
