IP Geolocation for Python (geolocation-api-python)

Python library for Abstract free IP Geolocation API.

Full documentation can be found on Abstract IP Geolocation API page.

Getting started

Getting started with Abstract IP Geolocation API is very simple, you just need to install the library into your project as follow:

pip install abstract-ip-geolocation-api

From there you can then call the geolocationapi as follow:

# Import abstract ip geolocation api module
import importlib
abstract_ip_geolocation_api = importlib.import_module("abstract-ip-geolocation-api")

# Initiate the geolocation api with a free API key retrieved on https://www.abstractapi.com/ip-geolocation-api
geolocation_api = abstract_ip_geolocation_api.v1('YOUR_API_KEY')

# Fetch location data for a given IP
# Note: If you don't provide an ip_address value, then the requester IP will be used
location_data = geolocation_api.geolocate(ip_address="ANY_IP_ADDRESS")

# Process location data and potential errors
if 'ip_address' in location_data:
    # Location data has been successfully retrieved
    country = location_data['country']
    city = location_data['city']
    print(country)
elif 'error' in location_data:
    # Handle Abstract related errors
    error = location_data['error']
    print(error)
else:
    # No location data available for this IP
    print('No location data available for this IP')
