How to access current location of any user using python [closed]


or, as simple as this

import geocoderg = geocoder.ip('me')print(g.latlng)


Others have mentioned a few services, but another one to consider is my own, https://ipinfo.io, which'll give you latitude, longitude and a bunch of other information:

Usage for Bash:

$ curl ipinfo.io{  "ip": "24.6.61.239",  "hostname": "c-24-6-61-239.hsd1.ca.comcast.net",  "city": "Mountain View",  "region": "California",  "country": "US",  "loc": "37.3845,-122.0881",  "org": "AS7922 Comcast Cable Communications, LLC",  "postal": "94040"}

If you only want the coordinate data you can get just that by requesting /loc:

$ curl ipinfo.io/loc37.3845,-122.0881

See https://ipinfo.io/developers for more details.


Since http://freegeoip.net/json API endpoint is deprecated and will stop working on July 1st, 2018. So, they release new API http://api.ipstack.com.

So, you may try out this with new API:

import requestsimport jsonsend_url = "http://api.ipstack.com/check?access_key=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY"geo_req = requests.get(send_url)geo_json = json.loads(geo_req.text)latitude = geo_json['latitude']longitude = geo_json['longitude']city = geo_json['city']

In order to get your own ACCESS_KEY, you have to first create an account on ipstack.com which is free at https://ipstack.com/signup/free.

Along with latitude, longitude and city; you can also fetch zip, continent_code, continent_name, country_code, country_name, region_code, region_name.

Limitation: Free account only allow you 10,000 requests/month. If you requirement is more then you can upgrade you account.

For more information about this new API you can visit at https://github.com/apilayer/freegeoip
