a) {{accepted_formats}}

b) {{ip}}

c) {{api_key}}

These tags will be replaced by their respective values.

• accepted_formats : An array with the return acceptable formats (example ['csv', 'php', 'json', 'xml'])

• default_accepted_format : String with the default return format. (example "php")

Plugin file example

<?php

$plugin = [
            'plugin_url'                => 'http://www.geoplugin.net/{{accepted_formats}}.gp?ip={{ip}}',
            'accepted_formats'          => ['json', 'php', 'xml'],
            'default_accepted_format'   => 'php',
    ];
