Detect GitHub with the API

Every address in these networks comes back with is_datacenter: true and a datacenter object naming the provider. The detection flags need an API key: a free account comes with 1,000 requests a day.

curl "https://api.ipapi.is/?q=4.172.0.1&key=YOUR_API_KEY"
"is_datacenter": true,
"datacenter": {
  "datacenter": "GitHub",
  "domain": "github.com",
  "network": "4.172.0.0 - 4.173.255.255"
