About GeoLite Legacy Downloadable Databases

GeoLite provides free IP address geolocation and limited network data from MaxMind. Users can get city and country data as binary or CSV databases, or query it through a web service. ASN data is included in the GeoLite City web service. The data is less accurate than MaxMind's paid GeoIP products and services.

A free GeoLite account is required to download the databases or query the GeoLite web services. GeoLite uses the same integration methods and documentation as GeoIP, with a few minor modifications.
