Overview
This API endpoint allows you to retrieve the stores nearby an ip location. Stores are returned only if a relevant ip location is found.
Minimum acceptable accuracy

the public IP from the user device.
Server-side requests
For server-side requests, get the position of a specific ip address using a private_key in your requests and
parameter ip_address to geolocate.
Optional parameters
https://api.woosmap.com/geolocation/stores/?private_key={PRIVATE_API_KEY}&radius=10000&&limit=10
limit
In addition to optional parameters from Search API you can specify a limit value to limit number of assets to retrieve from an IP location (integer value)
cc_format
To specify the country code format returned in the response. Default is alpha2.
Available cc_format values are alpha2 or alpha3.
Stores nearby Geolocation example
The following example requests the closest store nearby geolocation of a specific IP address 173.79.254.254 on the server-side:

Response
The Response is a formated JSON containing the keys: country_code, country_name, continent, city, region_state, postal_code, timezone, raw_offset, dst_offset. See the Get Location endpoint documentation for more details on those keys.
According to IP data relevance, JSON can contain the device location and nearby stores (based on your query)
