Keys missing when requesting https://api.ipapi.is/

What happened to the "location" key? It used to return that along with "state" and "country" listed under it. I'm having issues with my services that utilized said key. Any explanation would be appreciated.

I severely downgraded the free and unauthenticated API output

the reason was that I couldn't channel excessive traffic from millions of different IP addresses that weren't using API keys

I had 20-30 TB of network traffic and someone needs to pay for that traffic - me

so right now only authenticated users - which means using an API key - (the ones making an free account on ipapi.is) can get 1000 free and full API requests / day

API requests without valid API key will get a very stripped down API output

curl 'https://api.ipapi.is'
{"ip":"212.133.41.57","is_bogon":false,"is_datacenter":false,"is_tor":false,"is_proxy":true,"is_vpn":false,"is_abuser":true,"company_name":"DXC TECHNOLOGY","asn_num":3356,"asn_org":"Level 3 Parent, LLC","cc":"FR","lat":46.08594,"lon":2.04479}

do you have another solution ?

Thanks so much for responding. I was thinking you could include the most useful information in the version without an API key. Mainly location data, such as state or country. If not, then that's okay.
