IP2Location-Python VS django-countries

I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish, but anyway by using IP2Location LITE BIN database and IP2Location Python library, you can perhaps achieve similar results like this:

You can try the IP2Location Python Library. It has free IP2Location LITE database.

Hi, CountryField comes from django-countries (https://github.com/SmileyChris/django-countries) and is definitely not the source of the problem (for context, I have already created a basic API endpoint that displays a user profile i.e an instance of CustomUser). As for your second question, I concur that this is probably where the error lies from discussing with people over SO. However, I am not entirely sure how I can fix it. If I swap out `'''`CustomUserDetailSerializerSM''' for '''CustomUserSocialMediaSerializer''', my view would only show the user_id, social_media and social_media_url, whereas I am trying to show both the social media details as well as details about the '''CustomUser''' instance associated with those social media details (as queried using the '''username''' argument in the URL pattern).

You're using an old version of the django_countries package. It has a bug that was fixed in this commit and which should be fixed in the latest release.
