Feature request: Using IPinfo IP to Country database

[abdullahdevrel]

I am requesting to add support for IPinfo's IP to Country database to the project. The database has the following features:

• 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 and can be distributed to end users.
• The data is tabular and unnested, making it very easy to use. The dataset includes both IPv4 and IPv6 in a single file.

Database schema

Field Name	Example	Data Type	Description
start_ip	1.0.16.0	TEXT	Starting IP address of an IP address range
end_ip	1.0.31.255	TEXT	Ending IP address of an IP address range
country	JP	TEXT	ISO 3166 country code of the location
country_name	Japan	TEXT	Name of the country
continent	AS	TEXT	Continent code of the country
continent_name	Asia	TEXT	Name of the continent

Documentation: https://ipinfo.io/developers/ip-to-country-database

The database can be downloaded simply by accessing the storage URI with an access token.

curl -L https://ipinfo.io/data/free/country.mmdb?token=<YOUR_TOKEN> -o country.mmdb

Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Is that db schema compatible with the geoip2 library? If so, we could just add a note in the README

The DB schema is not compatible with MM's, unfortunately.

The mmdb reader library can read our MMDB database, but we have a different database schema.
