I am the devrel of IPinfo. Would you like to check out our free full accuracy IP to Country database for this project? The database is licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0 and is updated daily.

Field Name	Example	Description
start_ip	217.220.0.0	Starting IP address of an IP address range
end_ip	217.223.255.255	Ending IP address of an IP address range
country	IT	ISO 3166 country code of the location
country_name	Italy	Name of the country
continent	EU	Continent code of the country
continent_name	Europe	Name of the continent

We also have a free country + ASN database if you are interested.

@abdullahdevrel since it is available in MMDB format, it should be simple to use it instead of the Maxmind DB, I added the link to the Readme.

The more interesting thing is daily updates: is there an URL geo302 can use to update the database automatically?

@hombit Thank you very much!

Yes. Direct downloads:

Filetype	API endpoint
CSV	https://ipinfo.io/data/free/country.csv.gz?token=<YOUR_TOKEN>
JSON	https://ipinfo.io/data/free/country.json.gz?token=<YOUR_TOKEN>
MMDB	https://ipinfo.io/data/free/country.mmdb?token=<YOUR_TOKEN>

Some notes:

• API endpoints work with a token that can be availed by opening a free account.
• The MMDB file is not gzipped.
• The data structure of the MMDB database is flat and tabular.
• Rate limit is 3 downloads per token, per unique IP address, per day. Users can use download the database across multiple devices using the same token.
• We also have a checksums endpoint: https://ipinfo.io/data/free/country.mmdb/checksums?token=<YOUR_TOKEN>

You can use our mmdbtcl CLI to lookup IP addresses from the MMDB file like so:

ipinfo ► mmdbctl read 62.166.144.88 country.mmdb -f json-pretty
{
  "continent": "EU",
  "continent_name": "Europe",
  "country": "NL",
  "country_name": "Netherlands"
}

Please let me know if you have any feedback.
