Use function file_get_contents.

$jsonData = file_get_contents("http://freegeoip.net/json/23.94.30.210");
$countryInfo = json_decode($jsonData,true);

DEMO.

First, see related question Getting visitors country from their IP. You can use Geo IP Location.

It looks like the data has been JSON encoded. You will need to use the JSON functions available in PHP to decode this, and retrieve the country code (assuming you've already managed to retrieve the information using cURL).

Here is a sample bit of code:

// $data contains the information shown at http://freegeoip.net/json/23.94.30.210.
$decoded = json_decode($data);
$country_code = $decoded['country_code'];

FWIW the freegeoip.net API supports JSON, XML or even CSV. – fiorix May 23 '14 at 17:38
