If this is your website, the GitHub link in the footer (the icon, not the text) is broken (underscore vs hyphen).
Thanks a lot for raising it! I will get it fixed quickly.

What you think of the service overall?

The JSON output looks comprehensive though I dug that out from the browser's developer console; when using the form on the frontpage, I run into CORS issues -- if you pop the browser's console, it becomes self-explanatory.
Thanks. I put a lot of effort in building an API which would expose as much IP related data as possible and and at the same time which would have a fast response time.

I will look into this CORS issue. Thanks for pointing that out.

FYI the CORS issue has been solved. Thanks again for reporting.
Haven’t tried it yet but looks well thought out and presented. If I can ask, how do you compare with maxmind, and what is the source of your geoip data?
Thanks! At this early stage the geo data is coming from Maxmind, but I am also cross referencing more than 50 additional sources to generate the security data points.

Using Maxmind for now allows me to have the API up and in the meantime working on building my own source of geo data.

For anyone looking to test their GeoIP implementation, we have a tool here: https://www.geoscreenshot.com
Thanks for the mention, even though I am not sure how this will be useful to test an API?
Thank you for suggesting this tool man I have been looking for one for a long time now, I will try the free version first to see how it works I hope it will cover the countries I need, I have visitors from all around the world at lest that is what my geolocation service tells me, I use https://www.abstractapi.com/ I hope the accuracy is good.
Thanks a lot for giving it a try! Any issue or if you find something can be improved, don't hesitate to contact me.
