pyipextract

Python utility to extract or validate IPv4 addresses

IPv4 Extraction

• Returns a list of all valid IPv4 addresses extracted from a given string

IPv4 Validation

• Can also be used just to validate an IPv4address

Installation

pip install pyipextract

How to use

Here's an example of calling IPExtractor constructor and using the extraction or just validation mechanisms

Extraction

from pyipextract import IPExtractor

input_str = "This is a string which contains valid IPs 192.168.1.1, 1.1.1.1 and an invalid IP 256.444.22.22"
ip_extractor = IPExtractor()
extracted_ips = ip_extractor.extract(input_str)
print(extracted_ips) 

Output:

['192.168.1.1', '1.1.1.1']

Validation

from pyipextract import IPExtractor

ips = ["192.168.1.1", "256.444.22.22", "1.1.1.1111"]
ip_extractor = IPExtractor()
for value in ips:
    if ip_extractor.validate(value):
        print("Valid IP: {}".format(value))
    else:
        print("Invalid IP: {}".format(value))

Output

Valid IP: 192.168.1.1
Invalid IP: 256.444.22.22
Invalid IP: 1.1.1.1111
