Geocoding — entry 046 of 80
IPInfoDB
IPInfoDB is an IP-to-city geolocation API (api.ipinfodb.com/v3/ip-city/) that requires a free registered API key and returns JSON or XML with open CORS on both HTTP and HTTPS. The marketing/docs site now sits behind a Cloudflare bot challenge, so current plan pricing could not be independently re-verified this run, though the free registered-key tier is confirmed still functioning.
