Great. Thanks for sharing.

geo.ipify.com also provides powerful IP Location Lookup API

Nice writeup. For anyone comparing options, IPGeolocation.io is also worth a look if you need more than just location data. It returns timezone, currency, and ISP details in the same response, which saves a second API call if your app needs that info too. The free tier works fine for testing.
