<script async custom-element="amp-geo" src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/amp-geo-0.1.js"></script>

Supported Layouts

Usage

The amp-geo component provides country-level geolocation. The amp-geo component also provides a simple mechanism to group countries, making it easier to apply attributes to several countries at once.

The amp-geo component uses the country from which the request originated in the form of an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code. The amp-geo component determines this code from the client's IP address. The ISO country code may not be the same as the top-level domain. For example, the code for the United Kingdom is gb not uk.

It's possible that an IP address with country information in the WHOIS database will not have country information in amp-geo. If the country cannot be determined, the value is set to unknown. If the grouping feature is used at least one group must contain unknown.

The amp-geo component provides CSS, amp-bind and variable substitution interfaces.

Generated CSS classes

If the amp-iso-country-XX class is applied to the body element, where XX is replaced by the ISO country code or with the value unknown, you can use CSS to modify the body element.

In the following example, we add <amp-geo> to determine the user's location so that we can display the appropriate flag.

<amp-geo layout="nodisplay"></amp-geo>

If the user is in Canada, the amp-geo component applies the amp-iso-country-ca CSS class to the body tag. We can then use CSS to apply the correct background image for Canada:

/* defaults */
.flag {
  background-image: './starsandstripes.png';
}
/* override */
.amp-iso-country-ca .flag {
  background-image: './mapleleaf.png';
}

Optional configuration for grouping locations

Optionally, you can include a JSON configuration script in the amp-geo tag. The ISOCountryGroups key allows selections by groups of country codes.

<amp-geo layout="nodisplay">
  <script type="application/json">
    {
      "ISOCountryGroups": {
        "soccer": ["au", "ca", "ie", "nz", "us", "za"],
        "football": ["unknown"]
      }
    }
  </script>
</amp-geo>

If country groups are specified, amp-geo iterates through the groups. For any group that contains the current country, a class named amp-geo-group- followed by the group name is added to <body>. Group names may only contain a-z, A-Z and 0-9, and may not start with a digit. If no country group is matched the class amp-geo-no-group is added to body.

Example: Generated CSS classes

<body class="amp-geo-group-football amp-iso-country-gb …"></body>

Example: Using CSS classes and country groups to change "soccer" to "football"

In the following example, we determine if the user is in a "soccer" country and display a "football" message for those users.

<amp-geo layout="nodisplay">
  <script type="application/json">
    {
      "ISOCountryGroups": {
        "soccer": ["au", "ca", "ie", "nz", "us", "za"],
        "football": ["unknown"]
      }
    }
  </script>
</amp-geo>

If the user is in one of the "soccer" countries, the amp-geo-group-soccer CSS class is applied to the body tag.

/* defaults */
.football:after {
  content: 'football';
}
/* override */
.amp-geo-group-soccer .football:after {
  content: 'soccer';
}

Then it's trivial to use CSS select the correct word (i.e., football).

<div>The game is called <span class="football"></span>!</div>

Preset Country Groups

In addition to user specified country groups amp-geo supports preset country lists. See amp-geo-presets.js for the available preset lists.

U.S. California Detection

The amp-geo component provides the ISO 3166-2 information when it determines a request is from California. The preset-us-ca value from the preset list supports this feature.

Additional countries may be included with the preset list as in the myList example below.

<amp-geo layout="nodisplay">
  <script type="application/json">
    {
      "ISOCountryGroups": {
        "eea": ["preset-eea"],
        "usca": ["preset-us-ca"],
        "myList": ["preset-eea", "preset-us-ca", "ca", "au", "nz"]
      }
    }
  </script>
</amp-geo>

U.S. Subdivisions Detection

The amp-geo component provides the ISO 3166-2 information when it determines a request is from US State or from the District of Columbia (Washington DC). The values are in a ${country}-${subdivision} format and the following codes are supported.

  • us-al - Alabama
  • us-ak - Alaska
  • us-az - Arizona
  • us-ar - Arkansas
  • us-ca - California
  • us-co - Colorado
  • us-ct - Connecticut
  • us-de - Delaware
  • us-dc - District of Columbia
  • us-fl - Florida
  • us-ga - Georgia
  • us-hi - Hawaii
  • us-id - Idaho
  • us-il - Illinois
  • us-in - Indiana
  • us-ia - Iowa
  • us-ks - Kansas
  • us-ky - Kentucky
  • us-la - Louisiana
  • us-me - Maine
  • us-md - Maryland
  • us-ma - Massachusetts
  • us-mi - Michigan
  • us-mn - Minnesota
  • us-ms - Mississippi
  • us-mo - Missouri
  • us-mt - Montana
  • us-ne - Nebraska
  • us-nv - Nevada
  • us-nh - New Hampshire
  • us-nj - New Jersey
  • us-nm - New Mexico
  • us-ny - New York
  • us-nc - North Carolina
  • us-nd - North Dakota
  • us-oh - Ohio
  • us-ok - Oklahoma
  • us-or - Oregon
  • us-pa - Pennsylvania
  • us-ri - Rhode Island
  • us-sc - South Carolina
  • us-sd - South Dakota
  • us-tn - Tennessee
  • us-tx - Texas
  • us-ut - Utah
  • us-vt - Vermont
  • us-va - Virginia
  • us-wa - Washington
  • us-wv - West Virginia
  • us-wi - Wisconsin
  • us-wy - Wyoming

Additional countries/subdivision may be included with the preset list as in the usWithSubdivisions example below.

<amp-geo layout="nodisplay">
  <script type="application/json">
    {
      "ISOCountryGroups": {
        "usca": ["preset-us-ca"],
        "usco":["us-co"],
        "usct":["us-ct"],
        "usva":["us-va"],
        "usWithSubdivisions": ["us-ca", "us-co", "us-ct", "us-va"]
      }
    }
  </script>
</amp-geo>

Render Blocking

By default, the amp-geo component is not render blocking. That is, the page will load and elements will render even if amp-geo has not yet loaded and executed. If it's important that certain elements are never rendered in a specific geography, use the amp-geo-pending class to provide selective render blocking. This is implemented by the publisher by adding amp-geo-pending to the <body> element. When the amp-geo script loads, it removes the amp-geo-pending class at the same time as it adds the amp-iso-country... and amp-geo-group-... classes.

Example: To always suppress an element that has the foo class in the United States, set <body class="amp-geo-pending">, and in the CSS include the following:

.amp-geo-pending .foo,
.amp-iso-country-us .foo {
  display: none;
}

This CSS hides the element that has the foo class until amp-geo has loaded and continues to hide it if the country is us.

Elements such as amp-ad and amp-iframe do not make external network requests when set to display: none.

Variable substitution

The country code is also available via AMP variable substitution:

AMP_GEO or ${ampGeo} returns the list of matched groups (comma delimited). AMP_GEO(ISOCountry) or ${ampGeo(ISOCountry)} returns the country code (or unknown).

The subdivision code is also available via AMP variable substitution:

AMP_GEO or ${ampGeo} returns the list of matched groups (comma delimited). AMP_GEO(ISOSubdivision) or ${ampGeo(ISOSubdivision)} returns the country subdivision (or unknown).

Caching

The amp-geo JavaScript file is served with a 30-minute cache lifetime (Cache-control: private, max-age=1800) to prevent use of stale geolocation data and to ensure that the geolocation is accurate when a user moves location.

Pre-rendering

The amp-geo component supports pre-rendering. If the document is served from the publisher origin and it already contains a class matching amp-iso-country-* amp-geo respects that value. amp-geo will use the supplied country and configuration to supply data to cooperating AMP extensions (e.g., amp-consent). If a pre-rendered country code is detected, the document will not be modified by amp-geo to add classes for country group or amp-state.

However, if the document is served via one of the AMP caches, amp-geo removes and replaces any supplied geolocation classes and, if the amp-bind configuration key is true, updates <amp-state id="ampGeo"> accordingly. This allows publishers to use their own geolocation code when the document is served directly from their origin while retaining dynamic configuration when served from a cache.

Caches that wish to pre-render amp-geo should open an issue requesting to be removed from the pre-render override.

Self Hosting

Publishers and caches that re-host AMP JavaScript files must implement server-side patching of the amp-geo-0.1.js file or pre-rendering (see above).

The file served from cdn.ampproject.org should not be used as a base for patching because it will have already been patched when downloaded. Instead the base ./dist/v0/amp-geo-0.1.js file should be used.

The string {{AMP_ISO_COUNTRY_HOTPATCH}} must be replaced at serving time with the lowercase 2 letter ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code corresponding to the requesting IP address. This value should be padded to match the original length to avoid breaking the amp-geo-0.1.max.js.map file. If the country cannot be determined "unknown" country can be indicated by either leaving the file un-patched or patching with a string of spaces of equal length.

Debugging

Adding #amp-geo=XX to the document url forces the country to appear as the country XX. This allows you to test without having to VPN to a country. For security reasons, to prevent sharing of geo-spoofing urls, this feature is only available to users who have enabled the Experimental Channel or who are testing locally (i.e., amp-geo.js is served in development mode via amp serve).

Debugging in DevChannel may not work in Safari due to ITP.

Validation

See amp-geo rules in the AMP validator specification.
