geolocator-promise-queue

IpGeolocatorQueue

Allows you to request as many locations by IP as you want from freegeoip.net, and make use of the locations via promise. This package manages the queue to ensure you don't exceed the limit of 15,000 per hour by spacing out your requests

This uses the FreeGoip API, and spaces out requests so you're queue will simply keep growing if your rate is faster than 15,000 per hour

This library is really useful for encapsulating all concerns with the rate limit. The FreeGoip results are generally pretty good and will usually generate results within a hundred miles

Installation

npm install geolocator-promise-queue
