Description
I am requesting to add support for IPinfo's IP to Country database to the project. The database has the following features:
- It includes country and ASN information in the same database.
- It is updated daily, with zero compromise to accuracy. There is no range clustering, and the database provides full accuracy.
- The data granularity reaches individual IP level.
- The database comes in MMDB database format.
- It is licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0, permitting commercial usage.
- Available file formats include: CSV, MMDB, JSON
- The data is tabular and unnested, making it very easy to use. The dataset includes both IPv4 and IPv6 in a single file.
