Use cases

You have a table of website access logs, and each record includes the IP address of the visitor. You want to analyze website traffic by country. The ip2country function can be used to determine the country code associated with each IP address, allowing you to aggregate and analyze traffic patterns based on visitor location.

SELECT
    bigfunctions.us.ip2country(client_ip) AS country_code,
    COUNT(*) AS visit_count
FROM
    `your_project.your_dataset.website_logs`
GROUP BY
    country_code
ORDER BY
    visit_count DESC;

This query uses the ip2country function to add a country_code column to the website_logs table. Then, it groups the data by country_code and counts the number of visits from each country, providing a summary of website traffic by country of origin. Remember to replace your_project.your_dataset.website_logs with the actual path to your website logs table and choose the correct BigFunctions dataset according to your region (e.g., bigfunctions.eu, bigfunctions.asia_northeast1).
