Total IP usage counted twice in IPinfo.io dashboard

[itsiprikshit]

I am using the Python ipinfo module to geolocate some IP addresses. You can see my test code below -

import ipinfo

access_token = "TOKEN"

handler = ipinfo.getHandler(access_token)

lookup = ['8.8.8.8', '8.8.4.4']

details = handler.getBatchDetails(lookup)

I am just requesting info for 2 IP addresses but when I open up my ipinfo dashboard, the usage count increases by 4.

What I found interesting is that even though I am requesting information for just 2 IP addresses, the ipinfo handler is sending 4 IP addresses in the POST request to the servers where in each IP is added twice.

When I checked the getBatchDetails method, I found that the IP addresses are being appended twice to the lookup list here and here.

Am I missing something here?
I'd like to know why an IP address is added to the lookup twice.

Thanks

This seems to have been added in 8bb867a to take care of the non-bogon case, but indeed that was useless and a mistake since we already add it afterwards.

Deleting this, thanks so much for catching this.

The problem also doesn't exist in the async handler (except in the iterator) but it does in the sync handler, so likely the issue was detected but not solved in both places.

Thank you for adding the fix.
My monthly IP lookups got exhausted due to this bug, even though I only requested half the lookups.
Anyways, thanks :)
