How can i find the City name using IP address in Java

ip, java, location

Solution

From Andrey link, here is how to construct the inquiry, this code will return an HTML file with all details of current IP, including city;

String IP= "123.123.123.123";
URL link = new URL("http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm?GetLocation&template=php3.txt&IpAddress="+IP);

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(link.openStream()));
String inputLine;

while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null){
     System.out.println(inputLine);             
}

in.close();

The previous answer is ok, but it's not an API call, it reads an HTML page, that I provided previously because I didn't find any free APIs. Next is a REST API call that can be used easily and will return all the info required, it's recommended to use this one:

String ip = "2.51.255.200"; 
URL url = new URL("http://freegeoip.net/csv/" + ip);
connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.connect();

InputStream is = connection.getInputStream();

int status = connection.getResponseCode();
if (status != 200) {
    return null;
}

reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
for (String line; (line = reader.readLine()) != null;) {
    //this API call will return something like:
    "2.51.255.200","AE","United Arab Emirates","03","Dubai","Dubai","","x-coord","y-coord","",""
    // you can extract whatever you want from it
}

Problem
