I am getting a http429 too many requests error trying to get from [https://ipinfo.io/json](https://ipinfo.io/json). Is there another service I can use instead? Or is there a workaround for this?

If you access the URL with your browser, do you see the same error?

Hello,

I have the same problem. When I access the URL with my browser it works fine.

Hi Chris - I contacted [ipinfo.io](http://ipinfo.io) support, and they said the 1000 requests per day limit is only guaranteed if you have a sign-up for their free account. You can do that yourself, but if you would rather just use my free account token, make the request to this endpoint instead: `https://ipinfo.io/json?token=2277ce4bac0347`

Cheers,  
Kirupa 🙂
