Sir,
There is one article of IP API - HTTP GET Request to get location based on IP address.
I am trying the same in a web application of framework 3.5 which is not in favour of HTTP Requests & Response.
Please advise

You can use ipstack API to get the geolocation for the given IP address using the .Net framework.
Please see the IPStack documentation.
Sample Code:
private LocationDetails_IpStack GetGeolocationInfo(string ipAddress)
{
if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(ipAddress))
{
ipAddress = Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"];
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(ipAddress))
{
string[] ipRange = ipAddress.Split(',');
int le = ipRange.Length - 1;
string trueIP = ipRange[le];
}
else
{
ipAddress = Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"];
}
}
LocationDetails_IpStack geolocationInfo = new LocationDetails_IpStack();
var Ip_Stack_Url = "http://api.ipstack.com/" + ipAddress + "?access_key=<YOUR_KEY>"; // 192.180.210.42 - This is a sample IP address. You can pass yours if you want to test
// Use HttpClient to get the details from the Json response
using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
{
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new System.Net.Http.Headers.MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
// Pass API address to get the Geolocation details
client.BaseAddress = new Uri(Ip_Stack_Url);
HttpResponseMessage response = client.GetAsync(Ip_Stack_Url).GetAwaiter().GetResult();
// If API is success and receive the response, then get the location details
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
geolocationInfo = response.Content.ReadAsAsync<LocationDetails_IpStack>().GetAwaiter().GetResult();
}
}
return geolocationInfo;
}
