Are there free location services?

Question

Geolocation

I tried a bunch of different location services (country, city), as a result, after a couple of days they start to fall off and ask for money. Tell me, are there any free services for determining the location? and if so, which ones?

Answer 1

Use GeoLite2:

$record = geoip_record_by_name($address); // хост или IP-адрес

Array
(
    [continent_code] => NA
    [country_code] => US
    [country_code3] => USA
    [country_name] => United States
    [region] => CA
    [city] => Marina Del Rey
    [postal_code] => 
    [latitude] => 33.9776992798
    [longitude] => -118.435096741
    [dma_code] => 803
    [area_code] => 310
)
