- justboxing 9y agoI was wondering about this too. The answers on the SO question https://stackoverflow.com/q/409999/325521 https://stackoverflow.com/q/409999/325521 that OP refers to (in his blog post) also has another answer using freegeoip.net => https://stackoverflow.com/a/16589641/325521 https://stackoverflow.com/a/16589641/325521 From the comments on this answer (not OP's answer linking to his API), it seems like freegeoip is not all that reliable (i.e. it's down a lot). Funnily enough, 1 of the comments on this answers links to another free service, called "freegeoip2" which seems to work just fine as of right now.
- kasbah 9y agoThat was my experience with freegeoip.net actually, which is why I host my own instance of it.
