Geolocation stopped working

[jorgelbg]

The geolocation feature from the edge worker is no longer working (since 2021-06-09 from my logs). Apparently, the ipgeolocationapi.com service has been decommissioned (apilayer/geolocationapi#15).

We have two possible routes:

• Self-host the code from https://github.com/apilayer/geolocationapi/ including Fixed maxmind download in release.py. Added license key to the app.js… apilayer/geolocationapi#6 for the updated procedure of downloading the MaxMind database.
• Since we get the 2 letters ISO code of the country from Cloudflare headers we can translate that into country_name and remove the geolocation provider.

Hey @jorgelbg i tried the self hosting one , but due to the change of api endpoint of Maxmind there was some errors.
But if you just need the geolocation feature you can check out https://github.com/ProxPi/geolocationapi. Which is a fork i made and its working .( There is some changes to be done from your side in the code if you are using it , because i changed it in a way to get only Lat and long from IP.

@fredysomy Thanks for the fork and for already integrating the fix for the new download procedure. I think that for now I'm going to translate the country code (that we get from Cloudflare's headers) and see if we really need the city/lat/lon.
