cpr-generator 0.2.2

An unofficial tool for generating and verifying Danish CPR-numbers.

cpr-generator - An Unofficial library and tool for generating and verifying Danish CPR-numbers.

This project contains a library and some CLI-tools for generating, manipulating and verifying Danish CPR-numbers, called "personnummer" or "CPR-nummer" in Danish, as defined by the Danish authority "Det Centrale Personregister".

Disclaimer

This is a community project that is NOT indorsed by the Danish authorities and should not be used as a reference.

Getting Started

This is available on PyPI via. pip which includes both the library and the CLI-tools. Simply install with the command:

pip install -U cpr-generator

Using the Library

The library contains a few different modules. Most important are the cpr_verifier and the generator modules.

The cpr_verifier contains three functions:

• is_leap_year: takes a year (int) checks whether the year is a leap year.
• is_cpr_number: takes a potential CPR-number (str) and checks that it fulfills the format: DDMMYY(-)NNNN.
• satisfies_mod11 takes a potential CPR-number (str), checks that it fulfills both the format: DDMMYY(-)NNNN and the Modulus-11 control condition.

Using the CLI-tools

cpr-gen

This is a simple CLI tool that can generate random CPR-numbers, with or without hyphens.

Example usage:

cpr-gen -n 1000 -m False --hyphen True

The above generates a thousand CPR-numbers with hyphens, not satisfying the Modulus-11 control condition.

cpr-server

This CLI-tools starts a HTTP server (using flask) on port 5000 that can generate random CPR-numbers on demand.

Simply run:

cpr-server

And the server should be available at localhost:5000.

The server has the following available URL endpoints:

• /: Returns a random CPR-number (no hyphen)
• /no-mod11/: Returns a random CPR-number (no hyphen), not satisfying Modulus-11.
• /hyphen/: Returns a random CPR-number (with hyphen)
• /no-mod11/hyphen/: Returns a random CPR-number (with hyphen), not satisfying Modulus-11.
• /<int:number>/: Returns number random CPR-numbers (no hyphen)
• /no-mod11/<int:number>/: Returns number random CPR-numbers (no hyphens), not satisfying Modulus-11.
• /hyphen/<int:number>/: Returns number random CPR-numbers (with hyphens)
• /no-mod11/hyphen/<int:number>/: Returns number random CPR-numbers (with hyphens), not satisfying Modulus-11.

cpr-verify

This CLI-tool can be used to check the input fulfills the format of a CPR-number, with or without hyphen, and whether or not the input satisfies the Modulus-11 control condition.

Example usage:

cpr-verify 111111-1118  # --> True

The above verifies that the input 111111-1118 fulfills the CPR-number format.
