ip2location / ip2proxy-python

Python library for IP2Proxy database lookup. It can be used to find the IP addresses which are used as VPN anonymizer, open proxies, web proxies and Tor exits.

IP2Proxy Python Library

This library allows user to query an IP address if it was being used as VPN servers, open proxies, web proxies, Tor exit nodes, search engine robots, data center ranges, residential proxies, consumer privacy networks, and enterprise private networks. It lookup the proxy IP address from IP2Proxy BIN Data file. This data file can be downloaded at

• Free IP2Proxy BIN Data: https://lite.ip2location.com
• Commercial IP2Proxy BIN Data: https://www.ip2location.com/proxy-database

ip2proxy-python's Issues

No results from IP2Proxy-lite databases

I'm not sure if this is related to #1 but I'm having issues with the IP2Proxy-lite databases. I tried a few different databases from https://lite.ip2location.com/file-download (PX1LITEBIN, PX10LITEBIN, etc.) but I didn't get any results for any known Tor exit nodes.

import IP2Proxy
db = IP2Proxy.IP2Proxy()
db.open('IP2PROXY-LITE-PX10.BIN')
db.get_all("109.169.33.163") # {'is_proxy': 0, 'proxy_type': '-', 'country_short': '-', 'country_long': '-', 'region': '-', 'city': '-', 'isp': '-', 'domain': '-', 'usage_type': '-', 'asn': '-', 'as_name': '-', 'last_seen': '-'}
db.get_all("167.86.94.107")  # {'is_proxy': 0, 'proxy_type': '-', 'country_short': '-', 'country_long': '-', 'region': '-', 'city': '-', 'isp': '-', 'domain': '-', 'usage_type': '-', 'asn': '-', 'as_name': '-', 'last_seen': '-'}
db.get_all("199.249.230.82") # {'is_proxy': 0, 'proxy_type': '-', 'country_short': '-', 'country_long': '-', 'region': '-', 'city': '-', 'isp': '-', 'domain': '-', 'usage_type': '-', 'asn': '-', 'as_name': '-', 'last_seen': '-'}
print ('Module Version: ' + db.get_module_version()) # Module Version: 3.0.0
print ('Package Version: ' + db.get_package_version()) # Package Version: 10
print ('Database Version: ' + db.get_database_version()) # Database Version: 2020.7.1

I tried version 2.2.0 of the IP2Proxy python module but that didn't change the results. However, when I tried the sample DB available here I was able to get good results for the 3 IPs listed here. Is this just a matter of the limited accuracy of the lite databases or is there a larger issue with the library? I took a cursory look in the CSV versions of the databases and it looks like these exit nodes weren't present.

Method get thread not resolved

I just followed the example and I noticed that the method "get_threat" is an unresolved reference for the class IP2Proxy, could not find any info about its deprecation or is it available only on the commercial version?

Not detecting proxy

I took the python code and BIN file (IP2Proxy PX10 Sample BIN File) from here:

https://www.ip2location.com/development-libraries/ip2proxy/python

It works fine. However, the sample files are 2 months old so I tried to download the July version of proxy BIN file from here:

https://lite.ip2location.com/database/px10-ip-proxytype-country-region-city-isp-domain-usagetype-asn-lastseen-threat-residential

Now for every proxy IP it says "not a proxy". For example, here is a Tor ip: 23.160.208.249

Here is the sample code:

# DOES NOT WORK WITH JULY BIN FILE
import IP2Proxy
IP_ADD = "192.95.39.118"
db = IP2Proxy.IP2Proxy()
### open IP2Proxy BIN database for proxy lookup
db.open("/Users/ostester1/Downloads/IP2PROXY-LITE-PX10.BIN/IP2PROXY-LITE-PX10.BIN")
### get versioning information
print ('Module Version: ' + db.get_module_version())
print ('Package Version: ' + db.get_package_version())
print ('Database Version: ' + db.get_database_version())
### single function to get all proxy data returned in array
record = db.get_all(IP_ADD)
print ('Is Proxy: ' + str(db.is_proxy(IP_ADD)))
### close IP2Proxy BIN database
db.close()

# WORKS GREAT WITH FOLLOWING BIN FILE
import IP2Proxy
IP_ADD = "192.95.39.118"
db = IP2Proxy.IP2Proxy()
### open IP2Proxy BIN database for proxy lookup
db.open("/Users/ostester1/Downloads/sample.bin.px10/IP2PROXY-IP-PROXYTYPE-COUNTRY-REGION-CITY-ISP-DOMAIN-USAGETYPE-ASN-LASTSEEN-THREAT-RESIDENTIAL.BIN")
### get versioning information
print ('Module Version: ' + db.get_module_version())
print ('Package Version: ' + db.get_package_version())
print ('Database Version: ' + db.get_database_version())
### single function to get all proxy data returned in array
record = db.get_all(IP_ADD)
print ('Is Proxy: ' + str(db.is_proxy(IP_ADD)))
### close IP2Proxy BIN database
db.close()

INVALID IP ADDRESS

IP2Proxy.IP2Proxy().get_all("8.8.8.8")
{'is_proxy': -1, 'proxy_type': 'INVALID IP ADDRESS', 'country_short': 'INVALID IP ADDRESS', 'country_long': 'INVALID IP ADDRESS', 'region': 'INVALID IP ADDRESS', 'city': 'INVALID IP ADDRESS', 'isp': 'INVALID IP ADDRESS', 'domain': 'INVALID IP ADDRESS', 'usage_type': 'INVALID IP ADDRESS', 'asn': 'INVALID IP ADDRESS', 'as_name': 'INVALID IP ADDRESS', 'last_seen': 'INVALID IP ADDRESS', 'threat': 'INVALID IP ADDRESS', 'provider': 'INVALID IP ADDRESS'}

im using IP2PROXY-LITE-PX11.BIN

IP2Proxy-lite db with IP2Proxy==2.2.0 not working.

I tested with Google's ip (8.8.8.8) and with a known TOR exit node (109.169.33.163).
Both IPs are not showing any info in the country code and the is_proxy is always 0.

Tested on Python 3.6, installed the version from pypi.
I tried with the IP2PROXY binary databases of level 2 and level 5, same result.

Am I doing something wrong?

import IP2Proxy

db = IP2Proxy.IP2Proxy('IP2PROXY.BIN')


db.get_all("8.8.8.8") 
{'is_proxy': 0, 'proxy_type': '-', 'country_short': '-', 'country_long': '-', 'region': 'NOT SUPPORTED', 'city': 'NOT SUPPORTED', 'isp': 'NOT SUPPORTED', 'domain': 'NOT SUPPORTED', 'usage_type': 'NOT SUPPORTED', 'asn': 'NOT SUPPORTED', 'as_name': 'NOT SUPPORTED', 'last_seen': 'NOT SUPPORTED'}


db.get_all("109.169.33.163") 
{'is_proxy': 0, 'proxy_type': '-', 'country_short': '-', 'country_long': '-', 'region': 'NOT SUPPORTED', 'city': 'NOT SUPPORTED', 'isp': 'NOT SUPPORTED', 'domain': 'NOT SUPPORTED', 'usage_type': 'NOT SUPPORTED', 'asn': 'NOT SUPPORTED', 'as_name': 'NOT SUPPORTED', 'last_seen': 'NOT SUPPORTED'}

getting invalid ip address for all IPs

Here is the code:

Code:
db = IP2Proxy.IP2Proxy()
db.open(os.path.join("IP2PROXY-IP-PROXYTYPE-COUNTRY-REGION-CITY-ISP-DOMAIN-USAGETYPE-ASN-LASTSEEN-THREAT-RESIDENTIAL.BIN.part"))
proxy_type=db.get_proxy_type("204.199.119.10")
usage_type=db.get_usage_type("204.199.119.10")
print(proxy_type)
print(usage_type)

Response:
INVALID IP ADDRESS
INVALID IP ADDRESS

Code
record = db.get_all("172.250.213.36")
record
