Consider, we have the following IP:
const ip = "112.39.244.19";Now, we need to get location by using above address.

To get the location from an IP address, we need to call the api.ipstack.com api by passing a user ip address to it.

const ip = "112.39.244.19";
fetch(`https://api.ipstack.com/${ip}?access_key = ${YOUR_ACCESS_KEY}`).
then(res=>res.json()).
then(data=> console.log(data.country_name));Output:
