Suggestion: Support IP2Location.io API

[ip2location-com]

We would like to propose support for the IP2Location.io API. It has a free tier upon registration. It is one of the fastest API available in the market right now.

We can also offer PR if it is supported.

Great, I'd accept a PR for this!

Hello!
the other day I connected geoip with IP2location.io. And I bet it was working smooth.
But now logs show this error

** (exit) an exception was raised:
* (ArgumentError) Unknown provider: ':ip2locationio'. Please check your geoip configuration.
(geoip 0.2.8) lib/geoip/lookup.ex:85: GeoIP.Lookup.lookup_url/2
(geoip 0.2.8) lib/geoip/lookup.ex:38: GeoIP.Lookup.get_from_provider/2
(geoip 0.2.8) lib/geoip/lookup.ex:23: GeoIP.Lookup.lookup/1
(* 0.1.0) lib/my_web/check_geolocation.ex:17: MyWeb.Plugs.CheckGeolocation.call/2
(* 0.1.0) MyWeb.Router.app/2

my configs are pretty straightforward:

#mix.exs
     {:geoip, "~> 0.2"}


#config/config.ex
config :geoip, provider: :ip2locationio, api_key: "63A**************2E*R*************4"

looks odd, because I clearly can see :ip2locationio as a provider in lookup_url/2.
Need to temporarily switch to :ipinfo

Hi @Liferenko,

If you change the line in mix.exs to {:geoip, git: "https://github.com/navinpeiris/geoip.git"}, does the issue gone? We are able to run the plugin by using this config in dependency.

I still got this, just FYI:

** (exit) an exception was raised:
    ** (ArgumentError) Unknown provider: ':ip2locationio'. Please check your geoip configuration.
        (geoip 0.2.7) lib/geoip/lookup.ex:86: GeoIP.Lookup.lookup_url/2

        (geoip 0.2.7) lib/geoip/lookup.ex:23: GeoIP.Lookup.lookup/1

Hi @wingchen ,

Can you let us know the content of your mix.exs file? We would like to see if we can reproduce the same issue using the same content of the file.

I was using the master branch from this repo:

      # geo
      {:geoip, git: "https://github.com/navinpeiris/geoip.git"},

I looked into the source code. I could not understand it either. lookup.ex looks fine from my perspective at: https://github.com/navinpeiris/geoip/blob/master/lib/geoip/lookup.ex#L84-L86

I just forked it out and I will play with it a bit.

@ip2location my elixir 1.13.0 (I know it's old, we will update it soon) seems to like this style of functions better:

do you want me to create a PR for it? I will update the rest of the providers too.

Hi wingchen,

Sure, you can always create the PR, thanks for your effort!
