I currently use the maxmind webservices for client-side resolution in a commercial application. It's reliable but expensive enough that I'm looking for alternatives. I'm currently experimenting CloudFront's location request headers for a massive savings.
Where maxmind is $0.0003 per query.
And my CloudFront concept is $0.0000015 per query.
- reincoder 3y agoWell, if you want to limit your lookups to country level you can use our free IP to Country database [0]. Feel free to ask what is the catch. It's an easy answer, there is none. The database is updated daily, there is no quality compromise, it is a database so unlimited lookups and it is licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0 so it permits commercial use with attribution. It is a subset of our paid city level data. If you want city level data, we have the free tier on the API permits 50k lookups per month. By the way, I already pinged you on Twitter about the database. :/ [0] https://ipinfo.io/products/free-ip-database https://ipinfo.io/products/free-ip-database
