decentraleyes-geoip v0.0.7

decentraleyes-geoip

The decentraleyes-geoip microservice reference implementation

node-geoip2

npm install node-geoip2

Requires the GNU C/C++ build tools, but includes all other necessary dependencies including the MaxMind GeoIP API libraries and a GeoLite2 database to get you started.

Works with precision data sets available for purchase at the vendor's website.

Decentraleyes is not affiliated with MaxMind/GeoLite2 in any way and will not benefit from sales of their data (and doesn't want to). If, however, you want to provide excellent location lookups based on IP addresses, this is pretty much the industry standard.
