Outdated database

[kleper]

Hi,

I was testing your API, and I can be sure the database you use is outdated.
I was testing this IP: 200.25.80.78 located on Bolivia and the API shows the IP in Colombia but when I test on

https://iplocation.io/ip/200.25.80.78

The IP shows Bolivia.
Could be very good if you can fix that.

Thanks.

I’m starting to suspect that the MaxMind library isn’t reloading the database after an update. Maybe I'm not doing something correctly here.

In the meantime, I’ve modified the /info route to return the actual build date of the database. This should help troubleshoot. Typically, we expect this date to update regularly, every day.

I would suggest using IPinfo instead. More accurate, frequently (daily) updated.

To download, you only need to pass a token so it should not be a big trouble to replace Maxmind.

I wrote the PR already: #30

The maintainer needs to merge it, that's all.
