latest release notes.
In line with the announcement on our blog from 2020, there will be several changes to the data in our GeoIP Legacy web services beginning today. The following web services are affected:
- GeoIP Legacy City
- GeoIP Legacy City/ISP/Org
- GeoIP Legacy Insights (formerly known as Omni)
The following data changes have been made:
- Region codes: The legacy web services historically returned region codes in the FIPS 10-4 standard (for all countries except for the US and Canada). Now, region codes worldwide will be returned in the ISO 3166-2 standard.
- Area codes: Area code fields will now return blank.
- Country/Region/City names: Country, region, and city names will now come from GeoNames.

Please note that associated changes to the minFraud Legacy web services are also being made.
