Good Afternoon Susan, Thanks for your email. I am one of a number of developers on the Open Source Apache Nutch project [0]. As described on our website, Nutch is a well matured, production ready Web Crawler which powers search and discovery for a broad spectrum of organizations over a broad spectrum of use cases! I recently developed a piece of code e.g. Jira issue NUTCH-1660 [1] which leverages the Maxmind GeoIP2-java API [2] for reverse geocoding server information from which we fetch webpages. Right now the code is configured to use the GeoIP2 insights service. We can do this because we are able to obtain an IP address from the socket connection. The IP address is then used within the GeoIP2-java client API to locate and provide us with a bunch of geocoded data relating to the server. My idea here was basically to feature the open source development and open source projects which use the Maxmind technology. Something like a featured post which promotes both Maxmind product and the Apache Nutch project. if required I could provide you with some nice vizualizations for servers I visit during one of my crawls. The potentially overlay IP locations with a static map. Please let me know if this sounds interesting to you. I am mostly interested in promoting the open source technology we are engaged in writing. A point to mention here as well is the licensing which enables this work which is the Apache Software License v2.0. You will see that the Maxmind GeoIP2-java client driver is also licensed under this license [4]. Thanks for any feedback. lewis
