Converting URL to IP Address with Coordinates

tomricci

Hi everyone,

First post here, apologies if this has been asked before but a search didn't return anything. I'm working on a data visualisation project where I intend to map out a month's worth of internet browsing history by plotting the server locations of website I've accessed.

I can access the list of URLs from a CSV file, however I'm wondering if anyone knows how I can obtain the IP addresses, and afterwards the locations of these servers without manually inputting them into an online lookup service. It will probably be a multiple step process, but if anyone has dealt with similar processes I'd love to hear about them.

Thank you! Tom

Try this, I found it on the internet.

import java.net.*; 

InetAddress myAddress = InetAddress.getByName("www.mySite.com"); 
String ip = myAddress.getHostAddress();
