asndb 1.0.3

A simple Python CLI + library for looking up ASNs by IP or AS number. Uses BBOT.IO API.

ASNDB

A simple Python CLI + library for instant lookup of ASN data by IP address, AS number, or organization. Uses BBOT.IO API (asndb.api.bbot.io).

ASNs are automatically cached for instant lookups and minimal network traffic.

Installation

uv tool install asndb

# or quick run with uvx
uvx asndb

# or using pip
pip install asndb

Usage (CLI)

Note: anonymous queries are limited to 10/minute. If you need more, you can purchase an API key at the BBOT.IO Developer Portal. Export the key as an environment variable:

export BBOT_IO_API_KEY=<your_api_key>

IP Lookup

asndb ip 1.1.1.1

Output:

{
  "ip": "1.1.1.1",
  "asn": 13335,
  "asn_name": "CLOUDFLARENET",
  "org": "Cloudflare, Inc.",
  "org_id": "CLOUD14-ARIN",
  "country": "US",
  "rir": "ARIN",
  "subnets": null
}

To include subnets in the response, use the --include-subnets / -s flag:

asndb ip -s 1.1.1.1

Output:

{
  "ip": "1.1.1.1",
  "asn": 13335,
  "asn_name": "CLOUDFLARENET",
  "org": "Cloudflare, Inc.",
  "org_id": "CLOUD14-ARIN",
  "country": "US",
  "rir": "ARIN",
  "subnets": [
    "1.0.0.0/24",
    "1.1.1.0/24",
    "..."
  ]
}

AS Number Lookup

asndb asn 13335

Organization Lookup

asndb org CLOUD14-ARIN

Output:

{
  "org_id": "CLOUD14-ARIN",
  "org_name": "Cloudflare, Inc.",
  "country": "US",
  "asns": [
    {"asn": 13335, "name": "CLOUDFLARENET"},
    {"asn": 14789, "name": "CLOUDFLARENET"},
    {"asn": 394536, "name": "CLOUDFLARENET-SFO"},
    {"asn": 395747, "name": "CLOUDFLARENET-SFO05"},
    {"asn": 400095, "name": "CLOUDFLARENET"}
  ]
}

Usage (Python)

from asndb import ASNDB

# Create a new ASNDB client
asndb = ASNDB()

# Look up an IP address
asn = asndb.lookup_ip_sync("1.1.1.1")
# {
#   "ip": "1.1.1.1",
#   "asn": 13335,
#   "asn_name": "CLOUDFLARENET",
#   "org": "Cloudflare, Inc.",
#   "org_id": "CLOUD14-ARIN",
#   "country": "US",
#   "rir": "ARIN",
#   "subnets": null
# }

# Include subnets
asn = asndb.lookup_ip_sync("1.1.1.1", include_subnets=True)
# same as above, but with subnets populated

# Look up an AS number
asn = asndb.lookup_asn_sync(13335)

# Look up an organization
org = asndb.lookup_org_sync("CLOUD14-ARIN")
# {
#   "org_id": "CLOUD14-ARIN",
#   "org_name": "Cloudflare, Inc.",
#   "country": "US",
#   "asns": [
#     {"asn": 13335, "name": "CLOUDFLARENET"},
#     {"asn": 14789, "name": "CLOUDFLARENET"},
#     ...
#   ]
# }

# Search
results = asndb.search_sync("cloudflare")
