abstract-python-ip-geolocation 0.1.0

AbstractIpGeolocation - Wrapper to quickly start using the powerful AbstractAPI's IP geolocation service in your projects.

AbstractAPI python-ip-geolocation library

Integrate the powerful IP Geolocation API from Abstract in your Python project in a few lines of code.

Abstract's IP Geolocation API is a fast, lightweight, modern, and RESTful JSON API allowing you to look up the location, timezone, country details, and more of an IPv4 or IPv6 address.

It's very simple to use: you only need to submit your API key and an IP address, and the API will respond with an assessment of its geographical location, as well as additional details like the timezone, if it's a VPN address, and more.

Validating and verifying IP addresses is a critical step to reducing the chances of low-quality data and fraudulent or risky users in your website or application.
