ipdata = ipdata.IPData('test')
response = ipdata.lookup()
pprint(response)

Looking up any IP Address

from ipdata import ipdata
from pprint import pprint
# Create an instance of an ipdata object. Replace `test` with your API Key
ipdata = ipdata.IPData('test')
response = ipdata.lookup('69.78.70.144')
pprint(response)
