Python IP Lookup Application with Flask

In this Python tutorial we are going to learn about IP Lookup Application with Flask, so for creating

IP Lookup Application with Flask we are going to use ipapi library.

Installation

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

pip install ipapi

1	pip install ipapi

OK now we are going to use Flask library for this, Flask is one of the best and micro web

development framework in Python, make sure that you have already installed Flask if you

have not installed you can just use pip for the installation.

pip install flask

1	pip install flask

Now let’s create our Project Structure in Flask, first of all you need to open your favorite IDE, in

this article iam using Pycharm IDE, create a New Project in Pycharm IDE, iam going to call it

FlaskIPFinder, after creating of the Project we need to create a Python file, iam going to call

it flaskipfinder.py, also you need to create a templates folder, in the templates folder create

two html files, the first one is base.html and the second one is index.html.

This is our flask Project Structure.

OK now open open your flaskipfinder.py file and you need to add this code in that file.

basically in the Index view function we are going to first get the input from the 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.

import ipapi
from flask import Flask, request, render_template

#pip install ipapi


app = Flask(__name__)



@app.route('/', methods = ['GET', 'POST'])
def Index():
    search = request.form.get('search')
    data = ipapi.location(ip=search, output='json')
    return render_template('index.html', data=data)





if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug=True)

import ipapi

from flask import Flask, request, render_template

#pip install ipapi

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/', methods = ['GET', 'POST'])

def Index():

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

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

return render_template('index.html', data=data)

if __name__ == "__main__":

app.run(debug=True)

Now this is our base.html. also we have used Bootstrap CDN link 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>Flask IP Finder - Codeloop.org</h1>

    <br>
    <br>

    <form action="{{url_for('Index')}}" method="post">

        <div class="form-group">

            <input type="text" name = "search" class="form-control" 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>Flask IP Finder - Codeloop.org</h1>

<br>

</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 %}

So now run your Flask Project and go to http://localhost:5000/, and this is the result, first

it will show your IP Address, also you can search for an specific IP Address in Flask.
