Dive into the Details: Python's IP Netblocks Decoder.

IP netblocks information use case.


Very often for webmasters or SEO professionals it is needed to retrieve IP netblocks information or even automate the process and there is a very useful online service for web developers and SEO professionals on "WhoisXML API" that provides Domain & IP Data Intelligence for Greater Enterprise Security and RESTful APIs that we will use.

Using it's APIs you can perform many handy data requests, for example you can get IP netblocks data - don't forget to get your API KEY. With one API call you will obtain ready to use parsed JSON file with a results of explicit information on the IP range that a given IP address belongs to, with detailed ownership information regarding each range.

    This Python script below will use information from "WhoisXML API" and provide you a result in a JSON format without the need to use web a browser.
    The process of getting IP netblocks data can be easily automated now !


  1. Python code to retrieve IP netblocks data using API:


  2. 
    # IP Netblocks API USE
    
    import requests
    
    
    IP = '40.81.94.43'
    
    APIKEY ='at_ZUVkrukr4Uhhhsfq2j6dyv2VhFGWYV'
       
    
    IPNetblocksURL = f'https://ip-netblocks.whoisxmlapi.com/api/v2?apiKey={APIKEY}&ip={IP}&outputFormat=JSON'
    
    
    r = requests.get(IPNetblocksURL)
    
    IPNetblocks = r.json()
    
    print(f'IP Netblocks info for {IP} .\n')
    IPNetblocks
    


  3. IP netblocks data output:
