@PrivateGER Still gotta do a rate limiting thing but:
https://ip-thingy.com
Get parameters: (both optional)
ip={any ip you want data of}
json=true (gives back json content) -
Lol, I used to call geoip services from the client using Javascript, that way, there's no way I'd hit the rate limit Lmao...

Although I gotta get a more accurate array of timezone thingies... -

ripbit18Never delete code immediately. Always comment it out first.
Well that was a good little time off :)
Decided to go offline for a little and that was a good one, hello again.
Wrote a geoip service because I hate rate limits and such so fuck it, why not write one myself (data is not that accurate as it's free but quite alright if you ask me) (front end still fucking sucks).
So yes, that's I guess :P
