Tutorial No. 3 JavaScript (jQuery) By Newhope Bedzra

<!-- add jQuery library to your page -->
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.0/jquery.js"></script>
<script>
// set your API key (remember this can be seen within your browser when someone inspects the element)
api_key = '{YOUR_APIKEY}';
//Now make your ajax call
$.ajax({
    url: 'https://developers.powerstonegh.com/api?key=' + api_key,   
    dataType: 'json',
    success: function(json) {
        //exchange rate is stored in json.exchange_rate
        alert(json.exchange_rate);
        //You can continue to access data like alert(json.country_name); ...etc
    }
});
</script>
<!-- there is no need for setting the user ip address coz the API will get it -->
The geolocation data marked with asterisk * at the end are generated from GeoLite data created by MaxMind, available at maxmind.com
