Installation

First of all you need to install ipapi library, you can use pip for the installation.

pip install ipapi

1	pip install ipapi

So after installation you need to create a New Project in Django, you can use this command

for creating of the Project in Django.

django-admin startproject IPFinder

1	django-admin startproject IPFinder

After creating of Django Project you need to change directory to the created Project, basically

we are going to create Django App.

cd IPFinder
python manage.py startapp IPApp

1 2	cd IPFinder python manage.py startapp IPApp

First of all you need to create a templates folder in your Project. and add two html files in

the templates folder. the first one is base.html and the second one is index.html, this is the

structure of our Django Project.

Also after creating of the templates folder, you need to tell Django about this folder, so open

your settings.py file, and in the TEMPLATES you need to add your templates name like this.

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': ['templates'],#templates name added here
        'APP_DIRS': True,

TEMPLATES = [

{

'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',

'DIRS': ['templates'],#templates name added here

'APP_DIRS': True,

So now open your views.py file in your Django App, in our case the App name is IPApp and

add this code. basically in the Index view function we are going to first get the input from user,

right now we have not created our html code, after that we use our ipapi library for finding the

IP locations and information. also you need to send the information in your index.html.

from django.shortcuts import render
import ipapi


# Create your views here.


def Index(request):

        search = request.POST.get('search')
     
        data = ipapi.location(ip=search, output='json')

        context = {"data": data}

        return render(request, 'index.html', context)

from django.shortcuts import render

import ipapi

# Create your views here.

def Index(request):

search = request.POST.get('search')

data = ipapi.location(ip=search, output='json')

context = {"data": data}

return render(request, 'index.html', context)

Now this is our base.html. also we have used Bootstrap CDN linke in here.

templates/base.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-JcKb8q3iqJ61gNV9KGb8thSsNjpSL0n8PARn9HuZOnIxN0hoP+VmmDGMN5t9UJ0Z" crossorigin="anonymous">


    <title>{% block title %} {% endblock %}</title>
</head>
<body>
{% block body %}



{% endblock %}
</body>
</html>

<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>

<title>{% block title %} {% endblock %}</title>

</head>

<body>

{% block body %}

{% endblock %}

</body>

</html>

And this is the index.html, basically we have a text input field for searching IP Address, also we

are rendering the data in our index.html file.

templates/index.html

{% extends 'base.html' %}


{% block title %} IP Finder {% endblock %}


{% block body %}

<div class="container">
    <br>
    <br>

    <h1>Django IP Finder</h1>
    <br>
    <br>

    <form action="{% url 'index' %}" method="post">
        {% csrf_token %}

        <div class="form-group">

            <input type="text" class="form-control" name="search" placeholder="Enter IP Address">


        </div>

        <input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="Search">


    </form>

    <br>
    <br>


    <p>IP Address is : {{data.ip}}</p>
     <p>City Location is : {{data.city}}</p>
    <p>IP Country is : {{data.country}}</p>

    <p>Available Language is : {{data.languages}}</p>
    <p>Latitude Information Is : {{data.latitude}}</p>
   <p>Longitude Information Is : {{data.longitude}}</p>
   <p>Time Zone Information Is : {{data.timezone}}</p>
   <p>Availble Calling Code : {{data.country_calling_code}}</p>
   <p>Available Currency Is : {{data.currency}}</p>
   <p>Internet Network Is : {{data.org}}</p>
     <p>Continent Code Is : {{data.continent_code}}</p>
   <p>Postal Code Is : {{data.postal}}</p>
     <p>UTC Offset Is : {{data.utc_offset}}</p>

</div>

{%  endblock %}

{% extends 'base.html' %}

{% block title %} IP Finder {% endblock %}

{% block body %}

<br>

<h1>Django IP Finder</h1>

<br>

{% csrf_token %}

</div>

</form>

<br>

<p>IP Address is : {{data.ip}}</p>

<p>City Location is : {{data.city}}</p>

<p>IP Country is : {{data.country}}</p>

<p>Available Language is : {{data.languages}}</p>

<p>Latitude Information Is : {{data.latitude}}</p>

<p>Longitude Information Is : {{data.longitude}}</p>

<p>Time Zone Information Is : {{data.timezone}}</p>

<p>Availble Calling Code : {{data.country_calling_code}}</p>

<p>Available Currency Is : {{data.currency}}</p>

<p>Internet Network Is : {{data.org}}</p>

<p>Continent Code Is : {{data.continent_code}}</p>

<p>Postal Code Is : {{data.postal}}</p>

<p>UTC Offset Is : {{data.utc_offset}}</p>

</div>

{% endblock %}

Now we need to create our url routing, first you need to create a new python file at name

of urls.py in your Django App, in my case it is IPApp, and add this code.

from django.urls import path
from .views import Index

urlpatterns = [
    path('', Index, name = 'index'),

]

from django.urls import path

from .views import Index

urlpatterns = [

path('', Index, name = 'index'),

]

And this is our Project urls.py, basically we have included our App urls.py in here using

include method.

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('', include('IPApp.urls')),

]

from django.contrib import admin

from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [

path('admin/', admin.site.urls),

path('', include('IPApp.urls')),

]

So now run your Django Project.

python manage.py runserver

1	python manage.py runserver

Go to http://localhost:8000/ and this will be the result.
