issue causing measurements to skip/stop: due to a change by ipapi.is in number of queries per day without an api key now SpeedTest++ is broken

Hey, sorry to bother, but in case you wonder why measurements are broken: I think that since takanaka/SpeedTest makes use to an API call to ipapi.is which recently got limited to a few per day unless providing a (free) API key, the tool is not working anymore well for your purposes of plotting graphs.

I've opened an issue to takanaka here:

taganaka/SpeedTest#75

but have the feeling that the project is unmaintained, shall we fork it to add a new parameter for that API key? you could pass it if one specifies it as ENV var for instance and then pass it over. I've done a quick and dirty test by modifying the set (SpeedTest_IP_INFO_API_URL "https://api.ipapi.is/") parameter to see if it works with key specified and it does!

Or are you guys maybe already moved over to speedtest-go or something else?

Thanks in advance,

(I also wonder if it's maybe even better to use another method inside of SpeedTest++ to get the current ISPs IP address, maybe a stupid curl ifconfig.me and ideally cache it internally, letting the cache expire after an hour for instance. I think that would be much better..
