As you see this code I am trying to locate the user location using IP but it not working.
import pygeoip
gip = pygeoip.GeoIP("GeoLiteCity.dat")
res=gip.record_by_addr('Enter the ip')
for key,val in res.items():
print('%s : %s' % (key,val))

Use an external Geolocation API service like `http://ip-api.com/json/24.48.0.1`. Send a GET request to the link. – Vishnudev Krishnadas Jul 07 '21 at 05:17

@Vishnudev You might hit the usuage limit using such external services – Gunjan Jul 07 '21 at 05:19

Many have high limits and all of them are listed here https://stackoverflow.com/a/35123097/5120049 – Vishnudev Krishnadas Jul 07 '21 at 05:21

Number of limits is subjective based on your scale of the project. You might end up paying huge if you are serving millions of users. – Gunjan Jul 07 '21 at 05:24

I think we should stick to solve the question using the local database. – Michael C. Jul 08 '21 at 00:18
