Raw JSON Output

Overview

The -r / --raw flag outputs clean JSON instead of the formatted table. This makes ipwhoami composable with other tools.

Usage

ipwhoami -r 8.8.8.8

{
  "ip": "8.8.8.8",
  "city": "Mountain View",
  "region": "California",
  "country": "US",
  "org": "AS15169 Google LLC",
  "location": "37.4056,-122.0775",
  "timezone": "America/Los_Angeles"
}

Pipe to jq

Extract specific fields:

# Get just the city
ipwhoami -r 8.8.8.8 | jq -r .city
# Mountain View

# Get coordinates
ipwhoami -r 8.8.8.8 | jq -r .location
# 37.4056,-122.0775

Use in Scripts

#!/bin/bash
IP="8.8.8.8"
COUNTRY=$(ipwhoami -r "$IP" | jq -r .country)

if [ "$COUNTRY" = "US" ]; then
  echo "US-based IP"
fi

Raw Compare Mode

Combine -r with -c to get JSON from all providers:

ipwhoami -c -r 1.1.1.1

Each provider’s output is a separate JSON object, prefixed with a comment line (// ipinfo, // ipapi, etc.) for easy parsing.
