Exists geoip lookup for python?
Yes, there are several GeoIP lookups available for Python:
1. **GeoPy**: A popular and easy-to-use library that provides a simple interface for geocoding (converting addresses to coordinates) and reverse
geocoding (converting coordinates to addresses). It also includes an IP-to-country database.
bash
pip install geoip2
You can use it like this:
python
import geoip2.database
reader = geoip2.database.Reader("GeoLite2-Country.mmdb")
response = reader.country(ip="8.8.8.8")
print(response.country.name)
2. **IP2Location**: A Python library that provides IP-to-Geolocation data, including country, region, city, latitude, longitude, and more.
bash
pip install ip2location
You can use it like this:
python
import ip2location
ip = "8.8.8.8"
reader = ip2location.IP2Location('bin/DB3.dat')
result = reader.get_all(ip)
print(result['country_name'])
3. **MaxMind GeoIP**: A high-accuracy IP-to-country database provided by MaxMind.
bash
pip install mm-py
You can use it like this:
python
from mm import GeoIP
gi = GeoIP('GeoLite2-Country.mmdb')
print(gi.get_country("8.8.8.8"))
4. **IPAPI**: A simple Python library for IP-to-Geolocation data, including country, region, city, latitude, longitude, and more.
bash
pip install ip-api
You can use it like this:
python
import ipapi
ip = "8.8.8.8"
data = ipapi.location(ip)
print(data['country'])
Have found these packages that is possible install with apt:
python3-geoip, python3-geoip2, python3-pygeoip
It seems like you've found the following GeoIP packages for Python on Ubuntu/Debian:
1. **`python3-geoip`**: This package provides a simple GeoIP lookup functionality using MaxMind's GeoLite database.
2. **`python3-geoip2`**: This package is an improved version of `python3-geoip`, providing more features and a better accuracy.
3. **`python3-pygeoip`**: This package is another alternative for GeoIP lookups, but it seems less popular than the other two.
You can install any of these packages using `apt-get` or `pip`. Here are some examples:
**Using apt-get:**
bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3-geoip2
**Using pip:**
bash
pip install geoip2
After installing one of these packages, you can use their respective libraries for GeoIP lookups in your Python scripts.
Here's a simple example using `python3-geoip2`:
python
from geoip2.database import Reader
# Load the database
reader = Reader('GeoLite2-Country.mmdb')
# Look up the country of "8.8.8.8"
response = reader.country("8.8.8.8")
print(response.country.name)
Make sure to replace `"GeoLite2-Country.mmdb"` with the path to your GeoIP database file.
