[Feature Request] IPInfo.io for core IP based operation

[abdullahdevrel]

I work for IPinfo and I appreciate the project featuring IPinfo. I saw that in a ticket you mentioned that you favored no-key access to API. IPinfo does provide no-key access to the API service and a generous limit for that as well. Over your current setup, we have the following to offer:

• HTTPS/SSL encryption
• More accurate geolocation data backed by our probe network
• 1,000 requests per day without a token

Users can also sign up for a free account and get a limit of 50,000 requests per month. If you are looking to add more functionality, you can also check out our free IP to ASN database. Please let me know what you think. Thanks!

Hey @abdullahdevrel,

actually, I've already locally replaced RIPE IPmap with IPinfo.io precisely because of your generous no-key tier and above all because of your probe network, which I think is the only solution on the market that can compete (and very often, outperform) IPMap. Moreover, IPmap has recently failed me in several occasions (e.g. when destinations are not yet mapped on their probe network), so I took my decision already to replace it.

The IPinfo branch is not live yet, as I'm doing some more accuracy testing locally, but the switchover will happen in the next release of asn.

Thanks for your suggestion, and great job on IPinfo, which I honestly think is a truly awesome product!

Thank you very much @nitefood We really appreciate your kind words. Our free service, API and database is all dedicated to awesome projects like nitefood/asn. Let me know if you need to add more features, particualarly from our free IP databases: https://ipinfo.io/products/free-ip-database

the project is now using ipinfo.io as its default geolocation provider for non-bulk queries, with an option to add an API key to increase query limit. Thanks again for your input and product!
