[New Feature] Add IP2Location.io API in gipquery.c

[ip2location]

I would like to suggest adding IP2Location.io API to gipquery.c.

(a) get user IP address - https://ip2location.io/ip
(b) get IP geolocation by IP address - https://api.ip2location.io/?ip=[IP]

Hi, thanks for reaching out!
Can you please confirm if these APIs are free to consume?

[ip2location]

Yes, both APIs are free to use.

For the IP geolocation API, there is a limit of 500 queries per IP address per day.

Thanks! I'll look into this, I'm in the process of doing a large update anyway.

@obsy The keyless/tokenless 500 credits should be sufficient in most use case.

Hi @ip2location

(a) get user IP address - https://api.ip2location.io/ip

Is this expected to work? I get the following message every time

root@Gargoyle:~# ewget https://api.ip2location.io/ip
{"error":{"error_code":10000,"error_message":"Invalid API key or insufficient credit."}}

The geolocation api seems to work fine.

[ip2location]

Sorry, the correction endpoint should be as following:

(a) get user IP address - https://ip2location.io/ip
