Re: Blog topic: Maxmind's GeoIP2 API being used in Apache Nutch 1.10

Posted by Lewis John Mcgibbney <le...@gmail.com>.
Good Afternoon Susan,
Thanks for your email.
I am one of a number of developers on the Open Source Apache Nutch project
[0]. As described on our website, Nutch is a well matured, production ready
Web Crawler which powers search and discovery for a broad spectrum of
organizations over a broad spectrum of use cases!
I recently developed a piece of code e.g. Jira issue NUTCH-1660 [1] which
leverages the Maxmind GeoIP2-java API [2] for reverse geocoding server
information from which we fetch webpages. Right now the code is configured
to use the GeoIP2 insights service. We can do this because we are able to
obtain an IP address from the socket connection. The IP address is then
used within the GeoIP2-java client API to locate and provide us with a
bunch of geocoded data relating to the server.
My idea here was basically to feature the open source development and open
source projects which use the Maxmind technology. Something like a featured
post which promotes both Maxmind product and the Apache Nutch project.
if required I could provide you with some nice vizualizations for servers I
visit during one of my crawls. The potentially overlay IP locations with a
static map.
Please let me know if this sounds interesting to you. I am mostly
interested in promoting the open source technology we are engaged in
writing.
A point to mention here as well is the licensing which enables this work
which is the Apache Software License v2.0. You will see that the Maxmind
GeoIP2-java client driver is also licensed under this license [4].
Thanks for any feedback.
lewis
