[Feature request] Using IPinfo.io for IP information (IP Geolocation + ASN)
I would like to recommend ipinfo.io for the IP data.
- 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.
- 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"
}

nitefood/asn is mentioned in https://github.com/jreisinger/checkip/issues/41. The project is switching to IPinfo for their IP data as well: https://github.com/nitefood/asn/issues/67#issuecomment-2118168978
Consider including IPinfo in the project for accurate data and generous free access. Please let me know what you think. Thank you very much.
