Sure, if you've got the required sysadmin and dev skills, and a server to host the file. Not everyone does.
We also return additional data beyond geolocation, such as the ASN and hostname, and have additional optional fields such as company name and domain, and carrier details. You could download multiple databases and do it locally, but it's even more effort.

Oh sure - it's not quicker than a local lookup - it's quicker than _other_ IP geolocation APIs.
