IPSpot: A Python Tool to Fetch the System's IP Address

IPSpot: A Python Tool to Fetch the System's IP Address

Overview

IPSpot is a Python library for retrieving the current system's IP address and location information. It currently supports public and private IPv4 detection using multiple API providers with a fallback mechanism for reliability. Designed with simplicity and modularity in mind, IPSpot offers quick IP and geolocation lookups directly from your machine.

Usage

Library

Public IPv4

>>> from ipspot import get_public_ipv4, IPv4API
>>> get_public_ipv4(api=IPv4API.IP_API_COM)
{'status': True, 'data': {'ip': 'xx.xx.xx.xx', 'api': 'ip-api.com'}}
>>> get_public_ipv4(api=IPv4API.IP_API_COM, geo=True, timeout=10)
{'data': {'country_code': 'GB', 'latitude': 50.9097, 'longitude': -1.4043, 'api': 'ip-api.com', 'country': 'United Kingdom', 'timezone': 'Europe/London', 'organization': '', 'region': 'England', 'ip': 'xx.xx.xx.xx', 'city': 'Southampton'}, 'status': True}
>>> get_public_ipv4(api=IPv4API.IP_API_COM, geo=True, timeout=10, max_retries=5, retry_delay=4, backoff_factor=1.2)
{'data': {'country_code': 'GB', 'latitude': 50.9097, 'longitude': -1.4043, 'api': 'ip-api.com', 'country': 'United Kingdom', 'timezone': 'Europe/London', 'organization': '', 'region': 'England', 'ip': 'xx.xx.xx.xx', 'city': 'Southampton'}, 'status': True}

Private IPv4

>>> from ipspot import get_private_ipv4
>>> get_private_ipv4()
{'status': True, 'data': {'ip': '10.36.18.154'}}

Public IPv6

>>> from ipspot import get_public_ipv6, IPv6API
>>> get_public_ipv6(api=IPv6API.IP_SB)
{'data': {'api': 'ip.sb', 'ip': 'xx:xx:xx:xx::xx'}, 'status': True}
>>> get_public_ipv6(api=IPv6API.IP_SB, geo=True, timeout=10)
{'data': {'latitude': 51.2993, 'region': None, 'city': None, 'country_code': 'DE', 'api': 'ip.sb', 'longitude': 9.491, 'country': 'Germany', 'organization': 'Hetzner Online', 'timezone': 'Europe/Berlin', 'ip': 'xx:xx:xx:xx::xx'}, 'status': True}
>>> get_public_ipv6(api=IPv6API.IP_SB, geo=True, timeout=10, max_retries=5, retry_delay=4, backoff_factor=1.2)
{'data': {'latitude': 51.2993, 'region': None, 'city': None, 'country_code': 'DE', 'api': 'ip.sb', 'longitude': 9.491, 'country': 'Germany', 'organization': 'Hetzner Online', 'timezone': 'Europe/Berlin', 'ip': 'xx:xx:xx:xx::xx'}, 'status': True}

Private IPv6

>>> from ipspot import get_private_ipv6
>>> get_private_ipv6()
{'status': True, 'data': {'ip': 'fe80::e1bd:f78:b233:21c9'}}
