I would like to suggest adding IP2Location.io API to gipquery.c.

(a) get user IP address - https://ip2location.io/ip
(b) get IP geolocation by IP address - https://api.ip2location.io/?ip=[IP]

Hi, thanks for reaching out!
Can you please confirm if these APIs are free to consume?

ip2location commented

Yes, both APIs are free to use.

For the IP geolocation API, there is a limit of 500 queries per IP address per day.

Thanks! I'll look into this, I'm in the process of doing a large update anyway.

@obsy The keyless/tokenless 500 credits should be sufficient in most use case.

Hi @ip2location

(a) get user IP address - https://api.ip2location.io/ip

Is this expected to work? I get the following message every time

root@Gargoyle:~# ewget https://api.ip2location.io/ip
{"error":{"error_code":10000,"error_message":"Invalid API key or insufficient credit."}}

The geolocation api seems to work fine.

ip2location commented

Sorry, the correction endpoint should be as following:

(a) get user IP address - https://ip2location.io/ip
