tap-geoip

tap-geoip is a Singer tap for Maxmind's GeoIP2 Lite - Theoretically it should also work with the commercial version because they share the same data format, but i didn't test it. To locally test this tap, you can download the database once from maxmind, and use a local HTTP server, in this case, set the license key to "none".

Built with the Meltano SDK for Singer Taps.
