Nice! I love HTTP APIs like this with simple, user-friendly URLs like ` https://${domain}/${query} `. Anyone know of a list of other services like this? wttr.in is one example I know of.

We do it for https://internetdb.shodan.io

My similar take on the idea: https://cloud-ips.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/index.html I wanted to see if I could do the lookup work client-side, and also include some more metadata about cloud provider's IPs (region, service, etc), not that it's really better, just a toy idea I had.

From where do you get your geolocation information? I've been using the free MaxMind GeoLite2 databases and the GeoIP2 Python API for this kind of thing, but for a lot of IP addresses that I'd like to map, I can only get down to the country (and even some of those seem suspect).

Is there any rate limit for queries?

Have you thought about offering downloadable versions of to the database through MMDB, CSV, or JSON formats? This would enable users to utilize the database offline, similar to the setup provided by IPinfo.io for their free IP database.

Yeah, if you click on "bulk data" you'll see the two statically hosted CSVs for ASN and IP data. What else would you find useful in those datasets? It's quite easy to expand on them.

Feature request for any service like this: Let "me" know if it is a school, so I know that I am probably dealing with minors, a public environment and a firewall. Of course, you need to do the work (rDNS to start) to identify the schools.

I love the speed of the responses!
