When supplied with just an IP address, IpInfo.io can return location info, an much more. For example, here's a simple script that takes the IP address and returns useful information I use when tracking down hacking attempts:

Enter IP Address: 8.8.8.8


ip       : 8.8.8.8
hostname : dns.google
anycast  : True
city     : Mountain View
region   : California
country  : US
loc      : 37.4056,-122.0775
org      : AS15169 Google LLC
postal   : 94043
timezone : America/Los_Angele

But it can be used for so much more than this - just use your imagination.
