"latest" URL of DB-IP database

Alternative Providers
DB-IP.com: lite databases seem to work but setting up auto-update for them is not practical, as there's no "latest" URL.

Thanks for mentioning your project, it looks cool! I wonder if it goes against DB-IP's terms of service (or even GitHub's)? It would be important to clear that up before adding any mention of in locus - and even then, with the caveat that it's not an official source.

I don't think it is either against DB-IP's terms of service or GitHub (what reason made you think it's relevant with them?)
the key is you MUST follow what they asked you to do according to DB-IP's terms of service. copied below.

Agreed with you about it's not an official source. in terms of the download link of the files.

I don’t know friend, I assume commercial enterprises have their best interests at heart, no judgement about it - just practicality. Wouldn’t want to get DMCA’d two years from now for facilitating illegal distribution of intellectual property or something like that. locus is something I do for fun and I’d rather keep lawyers at bay.

That having been said (and I’m sorry if that came across in an unfriendly tone): I’ll review the relevant terms of service when I find the chance. Your project is ingenious and a clever way of improving the developer experience of making use of DB-IP databases. Thanks for pointing me to it!
