[Feature request] Using IPinfo.io for IP information (IP Geolocation + ASN)

[abdullahdevrel]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The current IP geolocation API service does not provide SSL/HTTPS encryption, has rate limits for high-frequency requests, and is based on ISP/ASN-reported location information.

Your py3status version

py3status version 3.59 (python 3.8.10) on sway

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to recommend ipinfo.io for IP data.

• Provides highly accurate IP geolocation backed by our probe network infrastructure. (Blog post and accuracy posts)
• Free tier access token supports 50,000 requests per month.
• IPinfo supports HTTPS/SSL encryption on all endpoints.
• Tokenless access grants 1,000 requests per day.
• No rate limit for repeated API requests. You can make all the allocated requests in one go.
• Includes ASN and hostname information. Supports bulk enrichment through a single API endpoint. We also have a comprehensive integration library.

Usage example:

curl https://ipinfo.io/8.8.8.8

{
    "ip": "8.8.8.8",
    "hostname": "dns.google",
    "anycast": true,
    "city": "Mountain View",
    "region": "California",
    "country": "US",
    "loc": "37.4056,-122.0775",
    "org": "AS15169 Google LLC",
    "postal": "94043",
    "timezone": "America/Los_Angeles"
}

Consider including IPinfo in the project for accurate data and generous free access. Please let me know what you think. Thank you very much.

Thanks for letting us know @abdullahdevrel . If any user wants this in, they're (or you are) welcome to contribute that ofc.

@ultrabug Thank you for considering the request. Do you want to replace the existing providers? I think our service is superior to both of them: it offers more accurate results, is reliable, has better limits, and is HTTPS/SSL secure.
