Geo IP API?

PHP
1

Hello,

I’m using MaxMind’s geolitecountry database to check where a user is coming from? depending upon the country the products are displayed. Everything works great, the only problem is that I’ve to regularly update my Geo-IP table, so I download the .csv and import it into my MySQL dtabase every time the new CSV is available. MaxMind is kind enough to provide these updates free of cost from:

Is there any API available that can dynamically connect from some server and query its database to check where a user is coming from?

High hopes at free of cost :slight_smile:

Please help

Regards

Not free, but not too expensive.
You could also just write a php script that will download the updated free database, and import it. That will make updates easy, or even automatic if you run it as a cron job.
