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

[abdullahdevrel]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The current implementation of the GeoIP plugin requires users to bring their own token to use it. The API platform also has rate limitations that are not scalable.

alerta-contrib/plugins/geoip/alerta_geoip.py

Lines 14 to 17 in 27d01d7

	GEOIP_URL = os.environ.get('GEOIP_URL') or app.config.get(
	'GEOIP_URL', 'http://api.ipstack.com')
	GEOIP_ACCESS_KEY = os.environ.get(
	'GEOIP_ACCESS_KEY') or app.config.get('GEOIP_ACCESS_KEY', None)

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.
• 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.
• Includes ASN and hostname information. Supports bulk enrichment through a single API endpoint. We also have a comprehensive integration library.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I have not considered any other alternatives.

Additional context

IPinfo API does not provide country flag data

GEOIP_URL = os.environ.get('GEOIP_URL') or app.config.get(

Please, let me know what you think. Thanks!

Hi Abdullah,

This repo is used for plugin contributions. you are more than welcome to do a PR either extends this plugin to support both ipstack and your ipinfo backends, but also to create a new plugin for ipinfo and do a PR for that.
