Sample Codes
Query geolocation information from BIN database
You can query the geolocation information from the IP2Location BIN database as below:
import os
import IP2Location
"""
Cache the database into memory to accelerate lookup speed.
WARNING: Please make sure your system have sufficient RAM to use this feature.
"""
# database = IP2Location.IP2Location(os.path.join("data", "IPV6-COUNTRY.BIN"), "SHARED_MEMORY")
# Default file I/O lookup
database = IP2Location.IP2Location(os.path.join("data", "IPV6-COUNTRY.BIN"))
rec = database.get_all("19.5.10.1")
print("Country Code : " + rec.country_short)
print("Country Name : " + rec.country_long)
print("Region Name : " + rec.region)
print("City Name : " + rec.city)
print("ISP Name : " + rec.isp)
print("Latitude : " + rec.latitude)
print("Longitude : " + rec.longitude)
print("Domain Name : " + rec.domain)
print("ZIP Code : " + rec.zipcode)
print("Time Zone : " + rec.timezone)
print("Net Speed : " + rec.netspeed)
print("Area Code : " + rec.idd_code)
print("IDD Code : " + rec.area_code)
print("Weather Station Code : " + rec.weather_code)
print("Weather Station Name : " + rec.weather_name)
print("MCC : " + rec.mcc)
print("MNC : " + rec.mnc)
print("Mobile Carrier : " + rec.mobile_brand)
print("Elevation : " + rec.elevation)
print("Usage Type : " + rec.usage_type)
print("Address Type : " + rec.address_type)
print("Category : " + rec.category)
print("District : " + rec.district)
print("ASN : " + rec.asn)
print("AS : " + rec.as_name)
print("\nYou may download the DB26 sample BIN at http://www.ip2location.com/downloads/sample6.bin.db26.zip for full data display.")
Processing IP address using IP Tools class
You can manupulate IP address, IP number and CIDR as below:
import IP2Location
ipTools = IP2Location.IP2LocationIPTools()
print(str(ipTools.is_ipv4("8.8.8.8")))
print(str(ipTools.is_ipv6("2001:4860:4860::8888")))
print(ipTools.ipv4_to_decimal("8.8.8.8"))
print(ipTools.decimal_to_ipv4(134744072))
print(ipTools.ipv6_to_decimal("2001:4860:4860::8888"))
print(ipTools.decimal_to_ipv6(42541956123769884636017138956568135816))
print(ipTools.ipv4_to_cidr("8.0.0.0", "8.255.255.255"))
print(ipTools.cidr_to_ipv4("8.0.0.0/8"))
print(ipTools.ipv6_to_cidr("2002:0000:0000:1234:abcd:ffff:c0a8:0000", "2002:0000:0000:1234:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff"))
print(ipTools.cidr_to_ipv6("2002::1234:abcd:ffff:c0a8:101/64"))
print(ipTools.compressed_ipv6("2002:0000:0000:1234:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF"))
print(ipTools.expand_ipv6("2002::1234:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF"))
List down country information
You can query country information for a country from IP2Location Country Information CSV file as below:
import os
import IP2Location
# List country information
country = IP2Location.Country(os.path.join("data", "IP2LOCATION-COUNTRY-INFORMATION-BASIC.CSV"))
print(country.get_country_info("US"))
List down region information
You can get the region code by country code and region name from IP2Location ISO 3166-2 Subdivision Code CSV file as below:
import os
import IP2Location
# Get region code by country code and region
region = IP2Location.Region(os.path.join("data", "IP2LOCATION-ISO3166-2.CSV")
print(region.get_region_code("US", "California"))
