freegeoip-client 1.0.4

FreeGeoIp's RESTful API client for Python

Description

Simple Python library made for consuming FreeGeoIp's RESTful API. API returns geo location data either for the current IP address that made the request or for the provided IP address.

Installing and usage

Install using pip (available at pypi - freegeoip-client)

pip install freegeoip-client

Use it in code

from freegeoip_client import FreeGeoIpClient

client = FreeGeoIpClient(api_key="some_api_key")

geo_data = client.get_geo_location()
geo_data_by_ip = client.get_geo_location_for_ip_address("8.8.8.8")

Example output

>>> from freegeoip_client import FreeGeoIpClient
>>> client = FreeGeoIpClient(api_key="some_api_key")
>>> client.get_geo_location_for_ip_address("8.8.8.8")
{'ip': '8.8.8.8', 'country_code': 'US', 'country_name': 'United States', 'region_code': '', 'region_name': '', 'city': '', 'zip_code': '', 'time_zone': 'America/Chicago', 'latitude': 37.751, 'longitude': -97.822, 'metro_code': 0}

Building project locally

Using pip - Package Installer for Python and setup.py, __init__.py files to define which modules will be included in a package, project can be built and installed locally in order to import it in another Python script.

# OS-level (/usr/local/lib/<python version>)
python -m pip install -e .

# for current user (/home/<user>)
python -m pip install --user -e .

# virtual environment (wherever virtual environment is initialized)
python -m venv env
source /env/bin/activate
python -m pip install -e .

Importing in different script(s):

from freegeoip_client import FreeGeoIpClient

Third party dependencies for project development

Required:

• requests - Required to make HTTP requests

Not required (but highly encouraged to improve code quality):

• flake8 - Tool to enforce style guide for Python code (PEP8)
• black - tool to format Python code
• pytest - framework for writing small and readable tests
• requests-mock - library at its core is simply a transport adapter that can be preloaded with responses that are returned if certain URIs are requested

Dependencies are defined in requirements.txt file and are installed using pip. Dependencies can be installed on OS-level, for current user or within virtual environments.

# OS-level (/usr/local/lib/<python version>)
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

# for current user (/home/<user>)
python -m pip install --user -r requirements.txt

# virtual environment (wherever virtual environment is initialized)
python -m venv env
source /env/bin/activate
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
