MaxMind will be retiring the GeoIP Legacy databases at the end of May 2022. Until then, this library will only receive critical security and bug fixes. Support for this library will end completely with the last release of the legacy GeoIP databases.
We recommend that you upgrade to our GeoIP2 databases. You can read these from C using libmaxminddb.
As of writing, geoip-api-c has been deprecated.
