What is the difference between GeoIP and GeoIP2?

Unlike the GeoIP Legacy web service, the GeoIP2 web services use HTTP basic authentication over SSL rather than passing the license key as a query parameter. When an error occurs, we now return an appropriate HTTP error code instead of simply returning a 200 with an error in the document.

What is the country code for private IP addresses?

The country code for private IP addresses should be the country where the IP addresses are being used, not necessarily where the administrator is located. If the IP addresses are being used in a location that is unknown, you can use “000” as the country code to indicate “Unknown”.

What GeoIP means?

Geo IP refers to the method of locating a computer terminal's geographic location by identifying that terminal's IP address. A Geo IP feed is an up-to-date mapping of IP addresses to geographical regions.

What is IP country code ZZ?

"ZZ" country code or "Unknown" country captures IP addresses that are not yet mapped to a country in our dataset. You may add ZZ to your match condition to avoid false positives.
