To get only the currency details

use Ipsquads\Php\IPSquads;
$access_key = 'FREE';
$ip_squads = new IPSquads($access_key);
$ip_data = $ip_squads->getCurrencyDetails('54.70.143.245');

To get only the timezone details

If you are interested in only getting the timezone details of a visitor based on the IP Address, you can do that using the below method.

use Ipsquads\Php\IPSquads;
$access_key = 'FREE';
$ip_squads = new IPSquads($access_key);
$ip_data = $ip_squads->getTimezoneDetails('54.70.143.245');

To get only the network details

If you are only looking for the network details of an IP Address, you can do using the below method.

use Ipsquads\Php\IPSquads;
$access_key = 'FREE';
$ip_squads = new IPSquads($access_key);
$ip_data = $ip_squads->getNetworkDetails('54.70.143.245');

Caching

By default, any result returned from IPSquads server are cached for quick access & prevent you from using more credits unnecessarily.

Under the hood, this SDK uses symfony/cache library for caching.

The default TTL of cache is 3600 seconds. If you would like to increase or decrease this limit, you can do so by modifying the way IPSquads is getting initialized.

use Ipsquads\Php\IPSquads;
$access_key = 'FREE';
$settings = [
  'expires_after' => '1000'
];
$ip_squads = new IPSquads($access_key, $settings);

Cache adapter

As a default, FilesystemAdapter cache is used. If you would like to use any other adapter of symfony/cache library, you can do so by passing the instance of a Cache Adapter. To check the available cache adapters, click here.

use Ipsquads\Php\IPSquads;
use Symfony\Component\Cache\Adapter\ApcuAdapter;
$access_key = 'FREE';
$settings = [
  'cache_adapter' => (new ApcuAdapter)
];
$ip_squads = new IPSquads($access_key, $settings);
