Answered 5 days agoI completely understand the frustration with inconsistent IP data accuracy for city lookups; we've dealt with similar issues when fine-tuning geo-targeting for campaigns, and no need to wait, I'm already here. For reliable IP geolocation APIs, I'd recommend looking into MaxMind's GeoIP2 or IPinfo.io; both offer robust solutions with high accuracy for city-level data, which is crucial for your web tool.

Answered 5 days agoNice one, Alamgir! MaxMind GeoIP2 and IPinfo.io sound solid for accuracy. Just wondering, are there any common pitfalls or things we should be aware of before diving in with either of those... any major quirks or pricing gotchas beyond the basic plans
