Enhance Geolocation API with Advanced Features

[Ricky-G]

Description

Enhance the existing geolocation API with advanced features including precision levels, confidence scores, multiple providers, and additional location-based data.

Requirements

1. Precision levels: Multiple accuracy levels (country, region, city, postal code, coordinates)
2. Confidence scores: Accuracy confidence ratings for each data point
3. Multiple providers: Integrate multiple geolocation services for redundancy and accuracy
4. ISP and carrier information: Enhanced ISP details and mobile carrier data
5. Connection type detection: Identify connection types (cable, DSL, fiber, mobile, satellite)
6. Timezone handling: Comprehensive timezone information with DST support
7. Weather integration: Optional weather data for IP location
8. Threat context: Location-based threat intelligence integration

API Endpoints

• GET /api/ip/geolocation/enhanced - Get enhanced geolocation for client IP
• GET /api/ip/{ipAddress}/geolocation/enhanced - Get enhanced geolocation for specific IP

Implementation Notes

• Support fallback between multiple geolocation providers
• Implement data correlation and confidence scoring
• Add caching for performance optimization
• Include data freshness indicators
• Support both free and premium data sources
• Add comprehensive error handling and validation
