ASN & DNS Lookups in Python

Returns the ASN, owning organization, network range, and country for an IP — and whether it belongs to a datacenter.

import os
from ipapi_io import IpApiClient

client = IpApiClient(api_key=os.environ["IP_API_IO_KEY"])

asn = client.asn("8.8.8.8")

print(asn["asn"])            # 15169
print(asn["organization"])   # "Google LLC"
print(asn["network"])        # "8.8.8.0/24"
print(asn["is_datacenter"])  # True
print(asn["country_code"])   # "US"

WHOIS record for a domain: registrar, registration/expiry/update dates, name servers, status codes, and the raw WHOIS text.

whois = client.whois("example.com")

print(whois["registrar"]["name"])
print(whois["registered_on"])     # "1995-08-14"
print(whois["expires_on"])
print(whois["name_servers"])      # ["a.iana-servers.net", ...]
print(whois["status"][0]["humanized"])

Resolve a PTR record, resolve a hostname to addresses, or list a domain's mail servers.

rdns = client.reverse_dns("8.8.8.8")
print(rdns["hostname"])    # "dns.google"

fdns = client.forward_dns("dns.google")
for record in fdns["addresses"]:
    print(record["type"], record["address"], record["ttl"])  # "A" "8.8.8.8" 300

mx = client.mx_records("example.com")
for record in mx["mx_records"]:
    print(record["priority"], record["hostname"], record["ttl"])
