What is this?

Adds a cute flag button to the Firefox toolbar indicating your geolocation. You may click the button to display more information about your IP address. The addon is available here.

How to use?

The extension uses the awesome ipify API to get your public IP address. ipify offers free and unlimited requests, however it does not offer IP information. I could not find an accurate IP address data API that does not require registration, but thankfully there is a free-tier available from IPInfo.io which gives you 50k requests per month. That's way more than enough for normal personal usage. So in order to configure the extension you need to :

1. Register for a free account on IPInfo.io
2. Set your access token in the whereami extension preferences.
3. Profit!
