2ip.me API Client.
Project description
Python 2ip Module
2ip allows you to make requests to the 2ip.me API to retrieve provider/geographic information for IP addresses. Requests are (optionally, on by default) cached to prevent unnecessary API lookups when possible.
Installation
Install the module from PyPI:
python3 -m pip install 2ip
Methods
The following methods are available.
TwoIP (Initialisation)
When initialising the 2ip module the following parameters may be specified:
- Optional
key
: The API key to use for lookups. If no API key defined the API lookups will use the rate limited free API.
geo
The geographic lookup method accepts the following parameters:
- Required
ip
: The IP address to lookup. - Optional
format
{json,xml}: The output format for the request.json
will return a dict andxml
will return a string. - Optional
force
{True,False}: Force an API lookup even if there is a cache entry. - Optional
cache
{True,False}: Allow the lookup result to be cached.
provider
The provider lookup method accepts the following parameters:
- Required
ip
: The IP address to lookup. - Optional
format
{json,xml}: The output format for the request.json
will return a dict andxml
will return a string. - Optional
force
{True,False}: Force an API lookup even if there is a cache entry. - Optional
cache
{True,False}: Allow the lookup result to be cached.
Examples
Some example scripts are included in the examples directory.
Provider API
Retrieve provider information for the IP address 192.0.2.0
as a dict
:
>>> from twoip import TwoIP
>>> twoip = TwoIP(key = None)
>>> twoip.provider(ip = '192.0.2.0')
{'ip': '192.0.2.0',
'ip_range_end': '3221226239',
'ip_range_start': '3221225984',
'mask': '24',
'name_ripe': 'Reserved AS',
'name_rus': '',
'route': '192.0.2.0'}
Retrieve provider information for the IP address 192.0.2.0
as a XML string:
>>> from twoip import TwoIP
>>> twoip = TwoIP(key = None)
>>> twoip.provider(ip = '192.0.2.0', format = 'xml')
'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>\n<provider_api><ip>192.0.2.0</ip><name_ripe>Reserved AS</name_ripe><name_rus></name_rus><ip_range_start>3221225984</ip_range_start><ip_range_end>3221226239</ip_range_end><route>192.0.2.0</route><mask>24</mask></provider_api>'
Geographic API
Retrieve geographic information for the IP address 8.8.8.8
as a dict
:
>>> from twoip import TwoIP
>>> twoip = TwoIP(key = None)
>>> twoip.geo(ip = '8.8.8.8')
{'city': 'Mountain view',
'country': 'United states of america',
'country_code': 'US',
'country_rus': 'США',
'country_ua': 'США',
'ip': '8.8.8.8',
'latitude': '37.405992',
'longitude': '-122.078515',
'region': 'California',
'region_rus': 'Калифорния',
'region_ua': 'Каліфорнія',
'time_zone': '-08:00',
'zip_code': '94043'}
Retrieve geographic information for the IP address 8.8.8.8
as a XML string:
>>> from twoip import TwoIP
>>> twoip = TwoIP(key = None)
>>> twoip.geo(ip = '8.8.8.8', format = 'xml')
'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>\n<geo_api><ip>8.8.8.8</ip><country_code>US</country_code><country>United states of america</country><country_rus>США</country_rus><country_ua>США</country_ua><region>California</region><region_rus>Калифорния</region_rus><region_ua>Каліфорнія</region_ua><city>Mountain view</city><latitude>37.405992</latitude><longitude>-122.078515</longitude><zip_code>94043</zip_code><time_zone>-08:00</time_zone></geo_api>'
Roadmap/Todo
- Support for email API
- Support for MAC address API
- Support for hosting API
- Option to retrieve data as XML
- Unit tests
- Deduplicate handler to retrieve information from API
