Answer 1

I think what you're looking for is an IP Geolocation database or service provider. There are many out there and some are free (get what you pay for).

Although I haven't used this service before, it claims to be in real-time. https://kickfire.com/kf-api

But just do a google search on IP geo and you'll get more results than you need.
