IP Stack SDK is used to retrieve geolocation and network information from IP addresses.

Getting Started with IPstack API

Introduction

Quickstart Guide

Step 1: Get your API Access Key

1. Go to the IP Stack website and choose the right subscription plan for your particular project.
2. Get your personal API Access Key on the Dashboard to authenticate with the API. Keep it safe! You can reset it at any time in your Account Dashboard.

Step 2: Make your first API call

IP Stack API contains all the three endpoint supported by IP Stack API.

1. Standard IP Lookup
2. Bulk IP Lookup
3. Requester Lookup

We recommend you to start with the Standard IP Lookup endpoint as it's primary endpoint. It is used to look up single IPv4 or IPv6 addresses. To call this endpoint, simply attach any IPv4 or IPv6 address to the API's base URL.

Check out all the widely used API calls with the necessary parameters in the Standard IP Lookup section.

from ipstackapi.ipstackapi_client import IpstackapiClient

client = IpstackapiClient(
    custom_query_authentication_credentials=CustomQueryAuthenticationCredentials(
        access_key='access_key'
    ),
    environment=Environment.PRODUCTION
)
