Feature Request: Using IPinfo for the IP geolocation information

[abdullahdevrel]

We operate nearly 1,000 servers globally to generate the best-in-class active measurement IP geolocation data. That means I am frequently buying servers and recently started using yabs.sh, which I think is a truly fantastic service. I would like to request that you incorporate our API service for IP geolocation information, as the results will be more accurate.

IPv4 endpoint:

ipinfo.io/json

IPv6 endpoint:

v6.ipinfo.io/json

Output:

{
  "ip": "8.8.8.8",
  "hostname": "dns.google",
  "city": "Mountain View",
  "region": "California",
  "country": "US",
  "loc": "37.4056,-122.0775",
  "org": "AS15169 Google LLC",
  "postal": "94043",
  "timezone": "America/Los_Angeles",
  "readme": "https://ipinfo.io/missingauth",
  "anycast": true
}

We support up to 1,000 requests per day from each unique IP address without a token, so, I do not think there would be any issues.

Hey there -- thanks for the recommendation! I'm investigating this and it appears that ipinfo is slightly more accurate than ip-api (sauce).

Agree that the free limits will not a be problem for this use case... unless someone really wants to run 1000 YABS tests in a single day (yikes!).

Will likely integrate this into the script with some upcoming changes. Keeping the issue open until that happens.

Hi Masonr,

(sauce).

Ahhh... I'm not sure how I feel about another IP geolocation provider telling folks we are "slightly" better then them. But between you and me, you can imagine how much "better" we actually are if people in the same industry still say we are only slightly better them ;)

Happy to see you guys incorporating our API in the project. I appreciate it.

We actually have a truly unlimited API service for free as well. However, that API only returns ASN and location data.

Ping me if there are any issues. Cheers!
