    <p>Hi,</p>
    <p>I just noticed, that RIPE currently does not provide geolocation
      information anymore as a result of the MaxMind data license
      change. That data can/could be queried with the IntelMQ RIPE
      expert. In case you are still relying on this information, please
      use another source for geolocation data, like the maxmind
      geolocation expert and local data. Unfortunately, the returned
      status code of the API call is 200 and the error is only
      detectable by another field. I am working on changes in the RPIE
      expert to detect this and raise a warning for it.<br>
    </p>
    <p>best regards,<br>
      Sebastian<br>
