Request - GeoLite2 User Data

[jedimstr]

Plexpy offers GeoLite2 location data for each user/session. It would be great to get the same data shown in User/Last Known IP/Location Details (in Popup) if available via the plexpy API. This would allow us to map sessions/users on the Grafana Worldmap Plugin.

Hey @jedimstr, I'll look into this and see if it's available in the response or if it's an external request. I do know the IP address is there but not sure about geo data.

I think this would be a good opt-in feature for those that want to track this data. I like the idea of feeding the worldmap plugin too. I would only see one dot but could be great for others ;)

Looks like this is not possible without making a secondary call to get the geo data. See the example output for a movie here:

That's disappointing... I was hoping some more data was available in the api.

Looks like this guy does something similar via python scripts and a secondary request to http://freegeoip.net.
