A better way to use IP2Location in Python

EasyI2L - Easy IP2Location Wrapper

easyi2l is a Python wrapper around the IP2LOCATION library. It allows you to automatically download and load the IP2LOCATION database, simplifying the process of working with IP geolocation data.

Features

• Automatic Download: Fetches the IP2LOCATION database directly using your IP2LOCATION token.
• Database Loading: Automatically loads the downloaded database for immediate use.
• Simple API: Retrieve IP geolocation data with minimal setup.

Installation

Install the package via pip:

pip install easyi2l

Usage

Before using the package, ensure you have the IP2LOCATION_TOKEN environment variable set. You can obtain a token from IP2Location LITE.

Example

Here's a simple example of how to use easyi2l:

from pathlib import Path

from easyi2l import EasyI2L, DBType


# Download to the default folder
db = EasyI2L.download(DBType.DB11LITEBIN).load()

# Or specify a custom download folder
# db = EasyI2L.download(DBType.DB11LITEBIN, folder=Path("./ipdb")).load()

# Retrieve all data for an IP address
print(db.get_all("1.1.1.1"))

Environment Setup

You need to set the IP2LOCATION_TOKEN environment variable for the package to function correctly. The package uses load_dotenv from the dotenv module to load this variable from a .env file in your working directory.

Create a .env file with the following content:

IP2LOCATION_TOKEN=your_token_here
