IP geolocation is a powerful tool to have if you're dealing with web data, and there are a couple of R packages that provide access to specific services, such as the legacy rgeoip package or Bob Rudis's ipapi. They're all spread about and have diffing interfaces, styles and requirements.

aims to be a single generalised package for geolocation; if you have a source you'd like to pull from, the
goal is that rgeolocate
will provide a binding to it. As of the 0.8.0 release, it contains:
If you have other bindings you'd like to see, open a request!
