Working on expanding https://iplocate.io - an IP geolocation and threat data service I've worked on since 2017.
I've found it really satisfying to solve the data challenges that come along the way, from "where on earth could this data come from" to collecting, storing, parsing, validating and serving constantly. It's also - by nature - something that's never going to be "done". There's always something to improve. I love it!
We now offer more types of data (ASN/whois, proxy/threat detection, so on) than most other providers, more accurate and more frequently updated, at a tenth of the cost, which is something I'm really happy about.
For anyone interested, you can make 1,000 requests day free, or reach out if you have an open source/public interest project for an unlimited key or access to the data.
I'd also love to hear any suggestions for additional data types to add.
