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

abdullahdevrel commented 3 weeks ago

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

Provides highly accurate IP geolocation backed by our probe network infrastructure. (blog)
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"
}

Free IP databases: https://ipinfo.io/products/free-ip-database

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

Hi @datawookie,

Thanks. There is a difference between the current API response and our API response. We do not return the "country name." We only return the country code to make our API response lighter and marginally faster while providing the necessary geolocation context.

{
    "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"
}

Based on the API response the output for the [location](https://github.com/datawookie/medusa-proxy/blob/446f4458884b26fb96ab4f3cd8054c33a7d32f59/proxy/tor.py#L101) will be:

' | US             | San Francisco     | +37.33 / -120.50'

Would this be acceptable?

No problem. How about using the country code too. So, for example, "San Francisco, US".
