The announcement framed it as a way to query nearly all IPinfo APIs more efficiently from the terminal, including IP lookups, ASN lookups, summaries, maps, grep-like IP extraction, and range listing. The repository README expanded the tool into both the main `ipinfo` command and a suite of related binaries such as `grepip`, `matchip`, `prips`, CIDR/range converters, `randip`, and `mmdb` tooling. ### Adoption history The CLI was packaged for many installation paths from the start: Homebrew, a Debian/Ubuntu PPA, one-shot deb and script installers, FreeBSD ports, Arch AUR, Scoop, Docker, Go install, and release archives. Its adoption follows the growth of IP intelligence workflows: developers and security teams can move from web/API calls to shell pipelines while still using the same IPinfo data source and account token. ### How it is used Common usage includes one-off IP and ASN lookups, bulk enrichment from files or standard input, summarizing up to 1000 IPs, opening maps for IP locations, filtering IPs from text, and generating IP lists from CIDR or range input. The config and token data live under `~/.config/ipinfo` on Unix-like systems according to the README's Docker persistence example and supplied curation. ### Why package nerds care This package matters because it turns a SaaS IP intelligence API into a normal Unix command with package-manager installs, subcommands, and pipeline-friendly utilities. It also creates a naming collision with the older Kyberdigi `ipinfo` formula. Homebrew resolves that by naming this formula `ipinfo-cli` while the executable remains `ipinfo`. ### Timeline - 2020: GitHub repository created. - 2021: ipinfo-1.0.0 release and official CLI announcement. - 2021: Early companion binaries such as grepip were released alongside the main command. - 2026: ipinfo-3.3.2 release published on GitHub. ### Related projects - IPinfo.io provides the API and data products queried by the CLI. - grepip, matchip, prips, CIDR/range conversion tools, randip, and mmdb tools are shipped as related command-line utilities in the same ecosystem. - Kyberdigi ipinfo is unrelated despite the similar package name. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
