Our client APIs do not support IP Risk, Static IP score, or User Count databases. The underlying readers should work with them, but how to use them could be an article in themselves.
mmdbinspect does work for these DBs, but that's more of a tool than an integration library. It's still worth mentioning in these docs.

@AndraMeer We need to update this section. Currently the snippet says:
Binary databases make use of the MaxMind DB file format. MaxMind provides official client APIs that are open source. We also provide a list of unsupported and unofficial client APIs and unsupported and unofficial integrations with various applications.
You can also use the mmdbinspect tool (in beta), a command line interface built with Go, to look up one or more IPs from one or more MMDB databases and receive output in a parsable JSON format.
But this isn't accurate so we need to use something like the following, but would like your input on specifically what we should say.

So if I'm understanding correctly, we don't want to mention the client APIs for the IP Risk, Static IP score, or User Count databases. Does this work as the copy then? I kept the first sentence of the initial paragraph as it seemed helpful and then removed "also" from "you can also use" in the second.
