How to get location of server based on IP address in Python [closed]

Question

Can we program (probably in python) to get the server location from where we are accessing the webpage.

P.S. Its just for fun and to get in-depth knowledge.

Answer 1

This is an example of fetching server location using one of the APIs.

There are many others site options such as keycdn, iplocation and more.

import json
import urllib.request

GEO_IP_API_URL  = 'http://ip-api.com/json/'

# Can be also site URL like this : 'google.com'
IP_TO_SEARCH    = '87.250.250.3'

# Creating request object to GeoLocation API
req             = urllib.request.Request(GEO_IP_API_URL+IP_TO_SEARCH)
# Getting in response JSON
response        = urllib.request.urlopen(req).read()
# Loading JSON from text to object
json_response   = json.loads(response.decode('utf-8'))

# Print country
print(json_response['country'])
