[Feature request] Using IPinfo.io for IP information (IP Geolocation + ASN)

Open abdullahdevrel opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

I would like to recommend ipinfo.io for IP data.

IPinfo vs IP-api

  • Provides highly accurate IP geolocation backed by our probe network infrastructure.
  • Free tier access token supports 50,000 requests per month.
  • IPinfo supports HTTPS/SSL encryption on all endpoints.
  • Tokenless access grants 1,000 requests per day.
  • No rate limit for repeated API requests. You can make all the allocated requests in one go.
  • Includes ASN and hostname information. Supports bulk enrichment through a single API endpoint. We also have a comprehensive integration library.

Usage example:

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

Consider including IPinfo in the project for accurate data and generous free access. Please let me know what you think. Thank you very much.

And in case you need something that is equally as accurate but much much cheaper, try:

Hi @NikolaiT the service I recommended is free. Not sure what would be cheaper than free.
