Feature request: Using IPinfo Lite DB

[abdullahdevrel]

Description

I am requesting to add support for IPinfo's Lite to the project.

The database has the following features:

• Updated daily, with zero compromise to accuracy (no range clustering, full IP-level accuracy).
• Includes both country and ASN information in the same database.
• Data granularity at the individual IP level.
• Licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0, permitting commercial usage, redistribution, and repackaging.
• Available in multiple file formats: CSV, MMDB, JSON, and Parquet.
• Tabular, unnested format, easy to work with.
• Includes both IPv4 and IPv6 in a single file.

Database Schema

Field Name	Example	Data Type	Description
network	154.24.39.204/30	TEXT	CIDR/IP range or single IP address
country	Canada	TEXT	Country name
country_code	CA	TEXT	Two-letter ISO 3166 country code of the IP addresses
continent	North America	TEXT	Continent name of the IP location
continent_code	NA	TEXT	Two-letter continent code of the IP location
asn	AS174	TEXT	Autonomous System Number, an organization that owns the IP range block
as_name	Cogent Communications	TEXT	Name of the AS (Autonomous System Number) organization
as_domain	cogentco.com	TEXT	Official domain or website of the ASN organization

Documentation: https://ipinfo.io/developers/ipinfo-lite-database
Samples: https://github.com/ipinfo/sample-database/tree/main/IPinfo%20Lite

The database can be downloaded with only a free access token:

curl -L https://ipinfo.io/data/ipinfo_lite.csv.gz?token=$TOKEN -o ipinfo_lite.csv.gz

Additionally, there is a free IPinfo Lite API service based on this database that supports unlimited requests.

Motivation

• Use case: Adding IPinfo Lite as a supported database would allow developers to integrate an accurate, daily updated, and open-licensed IP-to-geo/ASN database without restrictions.
• Rationale:
  • Provides a high-quality, free, and permissively licensed alternative to existing databases.
  • Simplifies integration with its easy-to-use, unnested schema.
  • Offers flexibility with multiple formats (CSV, MMDB, JSON, Parquet).
  • Ensures future-proofing with both IPv4 and IPv6 support in a single dataset.
  • Free API version enables unlimited lookups, reducing dependency on bundled static databases.

Let me know what you think. Thanks!
