New GeoIP & JsonIP API

[Nett]

Hello!

I have just completed a script which provides GeoIP information for a certain IP. This project was originally created for my only so the script won't have to access external sites anymore to get the information, however I thought it would be a great idea if I could open this up for free for developers

It's called the GeoIP & JsonIP REST API, basically it provides the GeoIP (eg. IP location, ASN, ISP, latitude, longitude, etc) or JsonIP (IP address in Json format) information for an IP and is pretty accurate & updated monthly. The database comes from MaxMind.
 
Check it out: https://www.petabyet.com/api/
 
P.S.: Check the improved benchmarking reports as well!!

Hold up, isn't there something in the Maxmind TOS/licensing agreement that prevents you from handing out this info for free?

I think that only applies to wholesale dumps.

It's the open source version.

I like it!

Works with curl also    Like the simplified output there...  Shouldn't be too hard parse...

Neat stuff!

Hy,

I havent found a tos/aup regarding the api.

may i ask if you keep records of the requested information?

@Nett: I've also built an API for this but am using GeoLite2 database. Judging from your output, are you using GeoLite(v1) databases? I just wanted to check because I'm unable to obtain the traits/ASN data from GL2 free databases but I know that is available for the GL1.

 

[Nett]

Yes, it's V1.
