ip2geotools is a simple tool for getting geolocation information on given IP address from various geolocation databases. This package provides an API for several geolocation databases.

To install theip2geotools module, type:

$ pip install ip2geotools

>>>from ip2geotools.databases.noncommercialimport DbIpCity>>> response= DbIpCity.get('147.229.2.90',api_key='free')>>> response.ip_address'147.229.2.90'>>> response.city'Brno (Brno střed)'>>> response.region'South Moravian'>>> response.country'CZ'>>> response.latitude49.1926824>>> response.longitude16.6182105>>> response.to_json()'{"ip_address": "147.229.2.90", "city": "Brno (Brno střed)", "region": "South Moravian", "country": "CZ", "latitude": 49.1926824, "longitude": 16.6182105}'>>> response.to_xml()'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><ip_location><ip_address>147.229.2.90</ip_address><city>Brno (Brno střed)</city><region>South Moravian</region><country>CZ</country><latitude>49.1926824</latitude><longitude>16.6182105</longitude></ip_location>'>>> response.to_csv(',')'147.229.2.90,Brno (Brno střed),South Moravian,CZ,49.1926824,16.6182105'

When installed, you can invokeip2geotools from the command-line:

ip2geotools [-h] -d {dbipcity,hostip,freegeoip,ipstack,maxmindgeolite2city,ip2location,dbipweb,maxmindgeoip2city,ip2locationweb,neustarweb,geobytescitydetails,skyhookcontextacceleratorip,ipinfo,eurek,ipdata}                   [--api_key API_KEY] [--db_path DB_PATH] [-u USERNAME]                   [-p PASSWORD] [-f {json,xml,csv-space,csv-tab,inline}] [-v]                   IP_ADDRESS

Where:

• ip2geotools: is the script when installed in your environment, in development you could usepython -m ip2geotools instead
• IP_ADDRESS: IP address to be checked
• -h,--help: show help message and exit
• -d {dbipcity,hostip,...,ipdata}: geolocation database to be used (case insesitive)
• --api_key API_KEY: API key for given geolocation database (if needed)
• --db_path DB_PATH: path to geolocation database file (if needed)
• -u USERNAME,--username USERNAME: username for accessing given geolocation database (if needed)
• -p PASSWORD,--password PASSWORD: password for accessing given geolocation database (if needed)
• -f {json,xml,csv-space,csv-tab,inline},--format {json,xml,csv-space,csv-tab,inline}: output data format
• -v,--version: show program's version number and exit

Examples:

$ ip2geotools 147.229.2.90 -d dbipcity -f json{"ip_address":"147.229.2.90","city":"Brno (Brno střed)","region":"South Moravian","country":"CZ","latitude": 49.1926824,"longitude": 16.6182105}

This module contains models for the data returned by geolocation databasesand these models are also used for comparison of given and provided data.

Model for storing location of given IP address.

Attributes:

• ip_address: IP address
• city: city where IP address is located
• region: region where IP address is located
• country: country where IP address is located (two letters country code)
• latitude: latitude where IP address is located
• longitude: longitude where IP address is located

Methods:

• to_json: returns model data in JSON format
• to_xml: returns model data in XML format (root element:ip_location)
• to_csv: returns model data in CSV format separated by given delimiter
• __str__: internal string representation of model, every single information on new line

This module provides special exceptions used when accessing data fromthird-party geolocation databases.

• ip2geotools.errors.LocationError: a generic location error
• ip2geotools.errors.IpAddressNotFoundError: the IP address was not found
• ip2geotools.errors.PermissionRequiredError: problem with authentication or authorization of the request; check your permission for accessing the service
• ip2geotools.errors.InvalidRequestError: invalid request
• ip2geotools.errors.InvalidResponseError: invalid response
• ip2geotools.errors.ServiceError: response from geolocation database is invalid (not accessible, etc.)
• ip2geotools.errors.LimitExceededError: limits of geolocation database have been reached

Following classes access many different noncommercial and commercial geolocation databases using defined interface.
