Goratio

Goratio is a location validation microservice for:

• Postal codes / zip codes (using Unicode Common Locale Data Repository regexes)
• Phone numbers (using Google's libphonenumber)
• Email addresses
• IP addresses with GeoIP (using Maxmind's GeoLite2 DB)
• VAT numbers (coming)

Usage

See OpenAPI specification for full API doc.

With the application running, post your query to the /validate endpoint:

{
    "phone": {
        "number": "0612345678",
        "country": "FR"
    },
    "zip": {
        "code": "06000",
        "country": "FR"
    },
    "email": "john.doe@example.com",
    "ip": "3.3.3.3"
}

Will output the following result:

{
    "phone": {
        "number": "0612345678",
        "country": "FR",
        "valid": true,
        "formatted": {
            "E164": "+33612345678",
            "national": "06 12 34 56 78",
            "international": "+33 6 12 34 56 78"
        }
    },
    "zip": {
        "code": "06000",
        "country": "FR",
        "valid": true
    },
    "email": {
        "address": "john.doe@example.com",
        "valid": true
    },
    "ip": {
        "address": "3.3.3.3",
        "valid": true,
        "geo": {
            "country_code": "US",
            "country_name": "United States",
            "city": "Seattle"
        }
    }
}

GeoIP

Path to a GeoLite2 DB (.mmdb format) defaults to /var/GeoLite2.mmdb.

It's path may be defined explicitely using GEOIP_DB_PATH environment variable.

If the file at the given path does not exist or is not valid, GeoIP feature is disabled.

ℹ️ Note that GeoLite2 Country database might be slightly faster than the City DB. Consider using it if you don't need a city-level accuracy.

Downloading the DB

wget https://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-City.tar.gz -O GeoLite2.tgz
tar --strip-components=1 -zxf GeoLite2.tar.gz *.mmdb
