Making an API call and extracting the Country Code

You can make an API request to IPinfo.io and extract the country value (E.G - US) from the response payload like so:

jQuery.ajax({
    // remember to add the Token
    // and replace the IP address
    url: 'https://ipinfo.io/8.8.8.8?token=' + token,
    dataType: 'jsonp',
    success: function (json) {
        alert(json.country);
    }
});

Using the filtered response method

The IPinfo API supports filtering API responses by their key/field. You can simply request the field you want by adding it as a sub-URL. Documentation for response filtering.

Code:

jQuery.ajax({
    // note the `/country`
    url: 'https://ipinfo.io/8.8.8.8/country?token=' + token,
    dataType: 'text',
    success: function (text) {
        alert(text); // the API returns a single string
    }
});
