Feature request: Using IPinfo IP to Country database

abdullahdevrel commented 2 days ago

I am requesting to add support for IPinfo's IP to Country database to the project. The database has the following features:

It is updated daily, with zero compromise to accuracy. There is no range clustering, and the database provides full accuracy.
The data granularity reaches individual IP level.
The database comes in MMDB database format.
It is licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0, permitting commercial usage and can be distributed to end users.
The data is tabular and unnested, making it very easy to use. The dataset includes both IPv4 and IPv6 in a single file.

Database schema

Field Name	Example	Data Type	Description
`start_ip`	1.0.16.0	TEXT	Starting IP address of an IP address range
`end_ip`	1.0.31.255	TEXT	Ending IP address of an IP address range
`country`	JP	TEXT	ISO 3166 country code of the location
`country_name`	Japan	TEXT	Name of the country
`continent`	AS	TEXT	Continent code of the country
`continent_name`	Asia	TEXT	Name of the continent

The database can be downloaded simply by accessing the storage URI with an access token.

curl -L https://ipinfo.io/data/free/country.mmdb?token=<YOUR_TOKEN> -o country.mmdb

Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Is that db schema compatible with the geoip2 library? If so, we could just add a note in the README

The DB schema is not compatible with MM's, unfortunately.

The mmdb reader library can read our MMDB database, but we have a different database schema.
