  fetch('https://ipapi.co/json/')
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(data => {
      const city = data.city;
	  console.log(data);
      console.log("City: " + city);
    })
    .catch(error => {
      console.log("Error occurred while retrieving the user's city: " + error);
    });

// Call the function to get the user's city
getLocationFromIP();
