Below is a timeline of our efforts and achievements, hope it excites you.
Hey, it's done & delivered. Now you can get ASN data of the IP address. Just add asn=true in your existing query param,
and response will contain the ASN info for that IP address.
Extraordinary performance and lower cost to infrastructure. How? - We now use native system image generated by Quarkus + GraalVM for the same source code written with ❤ ️ in Java.
A hit counter added in the system to maintain full transparancy. It does not store any user data, just increments the counter for API and webpage hits. Test yourself here
We re-wrote the entire system from Node and Express JS to Java with Quarkus framework. Performance got better.
The system now detects whether the IP address belongs to a public proxy networks or not and gives proxy network details.
We realized the system performance is good but not soooo good to serve the heavey (very heavy) traffic.
For the first time in history, the CORS enabled for all. No conditions apply.
The API and website both got this cool feature called "What's my IP?" or "Detect my IP?".
A website with FAQs and documentation appears for the first time.
Along with the country, the API supports state, city, zipcode and timezone info as well.
A very basic ip to geo location api released. It was only giving IP's country information. It was created using Node and Express JS, without any UI or documentation.
Failure in search of an unlimited free GeoIP API solution, we stumbled upon the idea to create this project.
