Hi all, I tried use https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/ref/contrib/gis/geoip2/ and This particular package requires GeoLite2-Country.mmdb.gz GeoLite2-City.mmdb.gz These databases are not free. We are looking for an open source API or package for our web application.
I appreciate if someone can share suitable pointers.
