[Feature Request] Integration of IPinfo's API

[abdullahdevrel]

I am the DevRel of IPinfo.io. If it would be possible, please consider IPinfo's API service for the project. The features of IPinfo's API service:

• 1,000 requests/day without a token.
• 50,000 requests/month with a free tier access token.
• SSL / HTTPS support even for non-token access.
• Provides nearly identical JSON payload to the existing API service, so migration would not be too difficult.
• Greater accuracy of location information backed by IPinfo's probe network infrastructure.
• Dedicated community open source projects and IP data.

Integrating IPinfo's API will allow users to make a higher amount of requests and get more precise geolocation information. Also the existing provider does not support HTTPS/SSL Encryption on the free tier, while we do.

More accurate geolocation information

Consider the IP address: 67.59.111.80 (IPinfo.io)

As of writing the post, based on ping information, the IP address is located in Madrid, Spain.

However, your existing API service provider locates it in Alaska, which is 8,073.7 kilometers away.

Please let us know what you think. If you would like, we can write the PR.
