Research direction

Start by tracing how ipinfo.io mirror data is fetched and stored in the database, then inspect the mirrors-page path mentioned in the issue. Confirm whether the anycast value is for internal use or publication; done means the value is retained for each applicable mirror and its intended visibility is settled.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The ipinfo.io database provides data on if an IP is anycast. We should store this in the database for future use (internal/publish it on the mirrors page?).

Anycast Information

curl ipinfo.io/8.8.8.8?token=$TOKEN

{
  "ip": "8.8.8.8",
  "hostname": "dns.google",
  "anycast": true,
  "city": "Mountain View",
  ...
}
