Thanks for this resource.
I’m seeing that there is an API here, http://api.ipinfodb.com/v3/ip-city/?key=&ip=74.125.45.100

But I’m wondering if this location is speedy enough to provide a solution to many people through one application.

Do you know of any other services like it?

Great resource thanks.

I imported the City Table into MySql and ran your query as posted except swapped out for my local IP (New York), no matter what I put in though I get New South Wales?

I found/find I had to remove the INET_ATON and put the IP in as 8 digits no decimals.

My other problem is so far no matches for many IPs, for instance mine

68.174.151.53

Which is NY NY there are no such or nearby records in the db, is there an updated version of it or something?

In any event thanks!
