ip2location-go VS public-apis

IP2Location — Freemium IP geolocation service. LITE database is available for free download. Import the database in the server and perform a local query to determine the city, coordinates, and ISP information.

Azure published their IP geolocation geofeed to IP geolocation providers such as IP2Location. It should be highly accurate.

You can visit IP2Location and check if you are behind an ISP and its actual IP address. You should be fine if your IP address is clean for residential purpose.

If you visit https://www.ip2location.com, does it detect your ISP IP address as from data center?

If you know anyone who is currently onboard, ask them to visit https://www.ip2location.com and send you a screenshot of what it reported. That is the IP geolocation information you want to know.

The common approach is using IP geolocation to identify estimated country of origin.

Do you have clean IP address? You can visit https://www.ip2location.com and see the parameters of your IP address. Is it detected as VPN or with abuses history?

Yes, you can find example of IP geolocation in https://www.ip2location.com and use it to block Utah visitors or anyone behind VPN.

You can check the IP address on testing websites like IP2location, DB-IP, IPinfo, etc. It should be noted that occasionally these websites display different locations for the same IP address. Typically, this is due to the fact that the IP address itself is disputed, which causes various analyses by IP libraries. You will need to contact the proxy provider in this case to obtain a different, higher-quality proxy.

For inspirations on what type of agents I should build, I turned to the Public APIs GitHub repository which has a curated lists of free APIs. I narrowed my search for an API that does not require sign-up or an API key and returns useful information. I ultimately decided to use the Free Currency Exchange Rates API, which seemed promising upon some basic testing.

Public-Apis Github Repo — A list of free public APIs.

Interesting thread at https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis/issues/3104

Use curl to access a free public API and get a random joke, cat fact, or whatever.

I remember the forking of https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis and the long git issue discussions. The company owning the repository stopped maintaining it but didn't give up control either. Over the years you've put in a lot of work in publicapis.dev and that is much appreciated.

Also, that isn't really a list of "contributors", but of "organisations with the most stars". Those are different things.

For example "public-apis"[1] didn't "contribute" anything as that's not a person, and looking at GitHub[2] there are a bunch of substantial contributors (the person who created the organisation/repo only has 12 commits by the way);
