Also, the pricing looks weird. Are you serious with your unlimited pack for a fixed price? Can you handle 2B requests a month for $250 with consistent latency? How frequently are you updating your data?
Our platform is completely powered by Microsoft Azure, which allows for a huge level of scalability and stability even under high loads. Which means, we can maintain a consistent latency even under 2B requests a month.
We are updating our data daily, cross-referencing multiple data sources to achieve maximum accuracy.
In terms of accuracy, at the moment, we are using MaxMind databases which guarantees high accuracy, on top of that, we are already in the process of building our own GeoDatabase which will add even more details and information to our offer.
Finally, we already offer open source client libraries for PHP and .Net on GitHub:
SmartIP.io is a IP Geolocation API and Threat Intelligence service which will make developers life very easy.
We expose both IP and ASN lookups with two simple endpoints, we don't segment data response by Tiers, as most of our competitors do, instead, we return the entire dataset in our responses even in the Free tier.
Our pricing structure is unbeatable as well, signing up, we allow up to 250,000 requests per month for Free! More information on https://smartip.io/#pricing-section
Why should I use a GeoLocation API
Most companies use IP Geolocation APIs to identify their users to enrich the user experience based on their location, currency or timezone. Another use case could be identify threats and prevent frauds in time looking for Proxy connections, TOR nodes or just filtering Crawlers traffic. SmartIP.io can detect if the an IP is a proxy, TOR or even a crawler. More information on https://smartip.io/#feature-section
Why SmartIP.io
Even though the API market is full of Geolocation API already, we realised that they all offer very similar datasets, and they all tend to be really expensive very quickly, segmenting data responses by tiers and adding costs to their customers which do not cost anything to them.
Our approach aims to solve this problem exposing single endpoints which return all information with no segmentation by Tier and with a huge Free tier which allows up to 250,000 requests a month.
We are the only one to expose Crypto data. Our service can identify if a specified IP is running a Bitcoin node with additional information like the port from where the node is running from. We are in the process of expanding this dataset with additional blockchains and more data.
Our features
- Geolocation data: at the moment we are using MaxMind database, but we are in the process of building our own GeoDatabase.
- Currency data
- Timezone data
- Security data: Our service exposes Proxy data, Crawler data and TOR data.
-- Crawler data: we detect the crawler type, the crawler company
-- TOR data: we detect TOR exit node identifier, the published data and the last update date.
-- Proxy data: we detect the proxy type like "proxy anonimyzers", "proxy attackers", etc.
