or Install from source with:

python setup.py install

Requirements

Python 2.7+ or Python 3.4+

QuickStart

>>> import ipapi

>>> ipapi.location()
{
  "ip": "8.8.8.8",
  "city": "Mountain View",
  "country": "US",
  "timezone": "America/Los_Angeles",
  ...
}

Usage : As an IP Location library

import ipapi

ipapi.location(ip, key, output)

Options

Argument	Description
ip	IP Address (IPv4 or IPv6) that you wish to locate. If omitted, it defaults to the your machine’s IP
key	API key (for paid plans). Omit it or set key=None for usage under free IP Location tier.
output	The desired output from the API. For complete IP location object, valid values are json, csv, xml, yaml. To retrieve a specific field (e.g. city, country etc. as text), valid values are [1]. If omitted or None, gets the entire location data as json

[1] Fields supported by the API : ip, city, region, region_code, country, country_code, country_code_iso3, country_capital, country_tld, country_name, continent_code, in_eu, postal, latitude, longitude, timezone, utc_offset, country_calling_code, currency, currency_name, languages, country_area, country_population, latlong, asn, org

Examples

1. Find the location of your IP address

>>> ipapi.location()

The output would be a JSON object like this (assuming your IP is ‘50.1.2.3’) :

{
    "ip": "50.1.2.3",
    "city": "Sacramento",
    "region": "California",
    "region_code": "CA",
    "country": "US",
    "country_code": "US",
    "country_code_iso3": "USA",
    "country_capital": "Washington",
    "country_tld": ".us",
    "country_name": "United States",
    "continent_code": "NA",
    "in_eu": false,
    "postal": "95817",
    "latitude": 38.548,
    "longitude": -121.4597,
    "timezone": "America/Los_Angeles",
    "utc_offset": "-0700",
    "country_calling_code": "+1",
    "currency": "USD",
    "currency_name": "Dollar",
    "languages": "en-US,es-US,haw,fr",
    "country_area": 9629091.0,
    "country_population": 310232863.0,
    "asn": "AS7065",
    "org": "SONOMA"
}

2. Find the location of an IP address

>>> ipapi.location(ip='8.8.8.8')

{
    "ip": "8.8.8.8",
    "city": "Mountain View",
    "region": "California",
    ...
}

You can also use an IPv6 address e.g.

>>> ipapi.location(ip='2001:4860:1::1')

3. Find the location of an IP address in xmlformat (other formats :json, csv,yaml)

>>> ipapi.location(ip='8.8.8.8', output='xml')

'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <root>
    <ip>8.8.8.8</ip>
    <city>Mountain View</city>
    ...
  </root>'

4. Find your external IP address

>>> ipapi.location(output='ip')

'50.1.2.3'

'US'

7. Find the region of an IP address

>>> ipapi.location(ip='8.8.8.8', output='region_code')

'CA'

8. Find if an IP address is located in the European Union

'GOOGLE'

Usage : As an IP Location command line utility

ln -s /<virtual-env-path>/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ipapi ipapi

$ python ipapi -i <IP Address> -k <API KEY> -o <Output Format>
OR
