Or install from source:

git clone https://github.com/lavrox/SDK-IPWho-Python.git
cd sdk-ipwho-python
pip install -e .

Quick Start

from src import IPWho

client = IPWho(api_key="your-api-key")

# Get caller's location (uses your IP by default)
import asyncio

location = asyncio.run(client.get_location())
print(location)

# Get location for a specific IP
location = asyncio.run(client.get_location("8.8.8.8"))
print(f"Country: {location.country}")
print(f"City: {location.city}")

Example minimal response (normalized):

{
    "continent": "North America",

if location:
    print(f"Country: {location.country}")

get_timezone(ip: Optional[str] = None) -> Optional[Timezone]

Get timezone data for an IP address.

timezone = await client.get_timezone("8.8.8.8")
if timezone:
    print(f"Time Zone: {timezone.time_zone}")
    print(f"Offset: {timezone.offset}")

get_connection(ip: Optional[str] = None) -> Optional[Connection]

Get connection/network data for an IP address.

connection = await client.get_connection("8.8.8.8")

    print(f"ASN: {connection.asn_number}")

get_security(ip: Optional[str] = None) -> Optional[Security]

Get security information for an IP address.

security = await client.get_security("8.8.8.8")
if security:
    print(f"Is VPN: {security.is_vpn}")
    print(f"Is Tor: {security.is_tor}")

get_ip(ip: str) -> IPWhoData

Get complete data for a specific IP address.

data = await client.get_ip("8.8.8.8")
print(f"IP: {data.ip}")
print(f"Country: {data.geo_location.country}")
print(f"ISP: {data.connection.isp}")

get_me() -> IPWhoData

Get complete data for the caller's IP address.

data = await client.get_me()
print(f"Your IP: {data.ip}")
print(f"Your location: {data.geo_location.city}, {data.geo_location.country}")

Troubleshooting

"API Key is required" Error

Make sure you're providing a valid API key:

# ❌ Wrong
client = IPWho("")

# ✅ Correct
client = IPWho("your-api-key")

No data returned

Some fields may be None if they're not available for a given IP:

location = await client.get_location("8.8.8.8")
if location and location.city:
    print(f"City: {location.city}")
else:
    print("City data not available")
