Data System Architecture

    "timezone" : "Europe/Moscow",
    "ip" : "83.149.9.216",
    "latitude" : 55.7485,
    "longitude" : 37.6184
    "continent_code" : "EU",
    "city_name" : "Moscow",
    "country_name" : "Russia",
    "country_code2" : "RU",
    "country_code3" : "RU",
    "region_name" : "Moscow",
    "postal_code" : "101194",
