=========== ip2geotools

Description

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.

Installation

To install the ip2geotools module, type:

.. code-block:: bash

$ pip install ip2geotools

Basic usage

.. code-block:: pycon

>>> from ip2geotools.databases.noncommercial import 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.latitude
49.1926824
>>> response.longitude
16.6182105
>>> 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'

Command-line usage

When installed, you can invoke ip2geotools from the command-line:

.. code:: bash

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 use python -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:

.. code:: bash

$ 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}

Models

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

ip2geotools.models.IpLocation ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 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

Exceptions

This module provides special exceptions used when accessing data from third-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
