This release note is more than two years old and may no longer reflect current behavior. View the 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:

  • minFraud Legacy Standard or Premium

The following data changes have been made:

  1. 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.
  2. Area codes: Area code fields will now return blank.
  3. Country/Region/City names: Country, region, and city names will now come from GeoNames.
  4. IPv6: The minFraud Legacy services will now provide GeoIP Location Check outputs for IPv6 addresses.
