aioipapi

aioipapi

Asynchronous asyncio/aiohttp based client for https://ip-api.com IP geolocation API.

ip-api.com is a fast, accurate, reliable API service for IP geolocation, free for non-commercial use.

aioipapi package provides asynchronous API to use ip-api.com service in free and pro. The package features:

• Support JSON API endpoint
• Support Batch JSON API endpoint
• Access to pro service with API key
• Free API rate limits control
• Customizable retrying when networking problems

You must not use aioipapi package for commercial purposes without API key.

Installing

Use pip for installing:

pip install -U aioipapi

Usage

All examples are provided for Python 3.7 and above.

Use location coroutine to locate your own IP:

import asyncio
from aioipapi import location

print(asyncio.run(location()))

{'status': 'success', 'country': 'United States', 'countryCode': 'US', 'region': 'CA', 'regionName': 'California', 'city': 'Santa Clara', 'zip': '95051', 'lat': 37.3417, 'lon': -121.9753, 'timezone': 'America/Los_Angeles', 'isp': 'DigitalOcean, LLC', 'org': 'Digital Ocean', 'as': 'AS14061 DigitalOcean, LLC', 'query': 'XXX.XX.XXX.XXX'}

Use location coroutine to locate a domain name:

print(asyncio.run(location('github.com')))

{'status': 'success', 'country': 'Netherlands', 'countryCode': 'NL', 'region': 'NH', 'regionName': 'North Holland', 'city': 'Amsterdam', 'zip': '1012', 'lat': 52.3667, 'lon': 4.89454, 'timezone': 'Europe/Amsterdam', 'isp': 'GitHub, Inc.', 'org': 'GitHub, Inc.', 'as': 'AS36459 GitHub, Inc.', 'query': '140.82.118.3'}

A domain location is supported only in JSON endpoint. Currently, batch JSON endpoint does not support domain names as query. In other words, you cannot locate a list of domain names per time.

Use location coroutine to locate an IP with cusomized result fields and language:

print(asyncio.run(location('8.8.8.8', fields=['continent', 'region', 'country'], lang='de')))

{'status': 'success', 'continent': 'Nordamerika', 'country': 'Vereinigte Staaten', 'region': 'VA', 'query': '8.8.8.8'}

Use location coroutine to locate a list of IPs:

print(asyncio.run(location(['1.0.0.1', '1.1.1.1', '8.8.4.4', '8.8.8.8'], fields=['lat', 'lon', 'org'])))

[
  {'status': 'success', 'lat': -27.4766, 'lon': 153.0166, 'org': 'APNIC and Cloudflare DNS Resolver project', 'query': '1.0.0.1'}, 
  {'status': 'success', 'lat': -27.4766, 'lon': 153.0166, 'org': 'APNIC and Cloudflare DNS Resolver project', 'query': '1.1.1.1'}, 
  {'status': 'success', 'lat': 39.03, 'lon': -77.5, 'org': 'Google Public DNS', 'query': '8.8.4.4'}, 
  {'status': 'success', 'lat': 39.03, 'lon': -77.5, 'org': 'Google Public DNS', 'query': '8.8.8.8'}
]

You can customize the result fields and lang for each IP in the query list:

ips = [
    '77.88.55.66',
    {'query': '1.1.1.1', 'fields': ['lat', 'lon', 'country'], 'lang': 'de'},
    {'query': '8.8.8.8', 'fields': ['continent', 'country'], 'lang': 'ru'},
]

print(asyncio.run(location(ips, fields=['region', 'isp', 'org'])))

[
  {'status': 'success', 'region': 'MOW', 'isp': 'Yandex LLC', 'org': 'Yandex enterprise network', 'query': '77.88.55.66'},
  {'status': 'success', 'country': 'Australien', 'lat': -27.4766, 'lon': 153.0166, 'query': '1.1.1.1'}, 
  {'status': 'success', 'continent': 'Северная Америка', 'country': 'США', 'query': '8.8.8.8'}
]

In these cases the package uses Batch JSON API endpoint.

Use location_stream async generator to locate IPs from an iterable or async iterable:

import asyncio
from aioipapi import location_stream

async def locate():
    async for res in location_stream(['1.0.0.1', '1.1.1.1', '8.8.4.4', '8.8.8.8']):
        print(res)

asyncio.run(locate())

location_stream also supports fields and lang options. location_stream always uses Batch JSON API endpoint.

Use IpApiClient class:

import asyncio
from aioipapi import IpApiClient

async def locate():
    async with IpApiClient() as client:
        print(await client.location())

asyncio.run(locate())

IpApiClient provides location and location_stream methods similar to the corresponding non-member coroutines.

Use IpApiClient class with existing aiohttp.ClientSession instead of client own session:

import asyncio
import aiohttp
from aioipapi import IpApiClient

async def locate():
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        async with IpApiClient(session=session) as client:
            print(await client.location())

asyncio.run(locate())

Usage of existing session also supported in location and location_stream non-member coroutines.

If you want to use unlimited pro ip-api service you can use your API key in location, location_stream functions and IpApiClient:

async with IpApiClient(key='your-api-key') as client:
    ...

When API key is set, the package always uses HTTPS for connection with pro.ip-api.com.

Free API Rate Limit Control

ip-api service has rate limits in free API (without key). Currently, there are 45 requests per minute for JSON endpoint and 15 requests per minute for Batch JSON endpoint.

The package controls the rate limits using X-Rl and X-Ttl response headers. In other words, you are unlikely to get 429 HTTP error when using free API. When API key is being used, the rate limits are not being checked, because pro API is theoretically unlimited.

Let's locate a lot of IPs for example:

import asyncio
import sys
import logging

logging.basicConfig(
    format='%(relativeCreated)d [%(levelname)s] %(message)s',
    level=logging.DEBUG,
    stream=sys.stderr,
)

from aioipapi import location

asyncio.run(location(['8.8.8.8'] * 2000))

Retrying Connection

The client try to reconnect to the service when networking problems. By default 3 attempts and 1 second between attempts are used. You can change these parameters by retry_attempts and retry_delay parameters:

from aioipapi import location, location_stream, IpApiClient

...

result = location('8.8.8.8', retry_attempts=2, retry_delay=1.5)
stream = location_stream(['8.8.8.8', '1.1.1.1'], retry_attempts=2, retry_delay=1.5)
...
async with IpApiClient(retry_attempts=2, retry_delay=1.5):
    ...

Also you can change these parameters in the global config:

from aioipapi import config, IpApiClient

config.retry_attempts = 2
config.retry_delay = 1.5

...

async with IpApiClient():
    ...
