Ask HN: What do you use to do GeoIP lookups
I know about MaxMind (http://www.maxmind.com/en/web_services), but are their any other libraries or startups where I can simply pass an IP, and get back location.

- nodesocket 14y agoThis is a bit expensive, to purchase the data I require (http://www.ip2location.com/databases/db5-ip-country-region-city-latitude-longitude http://www.ip2location.com/databases/db5-ip-country-region-c...) costs $349.00, then I have to spinup a server.
- kintamanimatt 14y agoIs there some reason MaxMind isn't working for you? I use MaxMind's data locally. I try to use as few remote APIs as possible to minimize disruption if one of them decides to have issues.
