Single / Personal servers
Simply drop the jar into your "plugins" folder. The auto-generated config should default to reasonable values for you, but you may modify it if you wish.

Multiple servers / Large networks
Drop the jar into the plugins folder and configure the "sql" section to use MySQL instead of SQLite. RabbitMQ and/or Redis are optional but highly recommended if you have multiple servers.

# This is the backing data for everything
# SQL is used as long-term storage and cross-network updates every few seconds
# Try to use an SQL source each server has access to, if possible
# You may choose to use MySQL or SQLite
# An SQL database of SOME description is required
sql:
 # The type of database to use. May be either MySQL or SQLite
 type: 'sqlite'
 # Number of connections to use. Cannot be lower than 1
 # Recommended 2+ for parallel queries for non-Redis servers
 # If using Redis, set this to 2+ on hubs and 1 on servers
 threads: 2
 mysql:
 address: '127.0.0.1'
 port: 3306
 user: ''
 pass: ''
 database: 'ipapi'
 sqlite:
 file: 'ipapi.db'

# Redis is used as a cache so lookups can be VERY fast
# This is used in both the expensive and non-expensive lookups
# It also provides the ability to push instant updates across the network
# Redis is entirely optional
redis:
 enabled: false
 address: ''
 port: 6379
 pass: ''

# Rabbit is used to push instant updates across the network
# If you don't have/use Redis you can use this to update faster than SQL
# Even if you use Redis, this can be used as a backup source
# Rabbit is entirely optional
rabbit:
 enabled: false
 address: ''
 port: 5672
 user: 'guest'
 pass: 'guest'

# The amount of time before in-memory caches expire after non-use
# This prevents many sequential lookups from using more expensive networking constantly
cacheTime: '1minute'

# Config version, no touchy plz
version: 2.0

/ipapireload - Reloads the plugin configuration. This will disconnect and reconnect (if appropriate) any services configured in the config.yml file.

ipapi.admin - allows access to the ipapireload command

API Usage

IPLookupAPI.getInstance();
...
ImmutableSet<IPData> getIps(UUID playerUuid);
ImmutableSet<UUIDData> getPlayers(String ip);
...
IPData ipData = ips.get(0);
ipData.getIp();
ipData.getCreated();
ipData.getUpdated();
...
UUIDData uuidData = uuids.get(0);
uuidData.getUuid();
uuidData.getCreated();
uuidData.getUpdated();

Example - list all players logged into all IPs that a specified player has ever logged in on

IPLookupAPI api = IPLookupAPI.getInstance();
ImmutableSet<IPData> ips = api.getIps(event.getPlayer().getUniqueId());
for (IPData ip : ips) {
   ImmutableSet<UUIDData> players = api.getPlayers(ip.getIp());
   for (UUIDData uuid : players) {
       // Do something with uuid.getUuid()
   }
}

Example - list all players logged into all IPs that a specified player has ever logged in on

IPLookupAPI api = IPLookupAPI.getInstance();
ImmutableSet<UUIDData> uuids = api.getPlayers(args[0]);
for (UUIDData uuid : uuids) {
   // Do something with uuid.getUuid()
}
