Android Question Problem with https job

[khwarizmi]

Hi all

I'm trying to get information about the user country and currency through his IP address:

Dim job4 As HttpJob
                job4.Initialize("", Me)
                job4.Download("https://ipapi.co/102.125.203.109/json/")
               ProgressDialogShow("please wait ..")
                Wait For (job4) JobDone(job4 As HttpJob)
                If job4.Success Then
                    res = job4.GetString
                Log(res)
                
                End If

the result is : {"error": true, "reason": "RateLimited", "message": "Please contact or sign-up for IP Location @ https://ipapi.co"}
Note that the site does not require login or API.

I have not reached the daily limit yet, also, the link is still running on the browser.

But the error you got tells something other

{"error": true, "reason": "RateLimited", "message": "Please contact or sign-up for IP Location @ https://ipapi.co"}

There is a method that I don't prefer to use is to read the code from the page, as in this example, and then draw the results.
Better to try another website to get the information via the IP.
