Describe the bug

When running the script multiple times a day (because of crashes) eventually the ipapi library will rate limit you for the rest of that day

Could cache the result of this call to disk, or refactor so that it isn't called as often per run (preferable in case bot moves between geographic locations between runs)

Could also switch to some other library that doesn't rate limit as much

i tried ipinfo it works fine. here is the code i generated from chatgpt 😭

@staticmethod
def getCCodeLang(lang: str, geo: str) -> Tuple:
if lang is None or geo is None:
try:
response = requests.get("https://ipinfo.io/json")
nfo = response.json()
print(nfo)
except requests.RequestException:
logging.warning(
"Returning default due to API request failure", exc_info=True
)
return "vi", "VN"
if isinstance(nfo, dict):
if lang is None:
lang = nfo.get("languages", "vi").split(",")[0].split("-")[0]
if geo is None:
geo = nfo.get("country", "VN")
return lang, geo
