Geo IP and RDAP lookup command-line tool
iplkp is a command-line tool to fetch Geo IP and RDAP information about one or many IP addresses. It queries public URLs and API endpoints in order to fetch that information and either outputs it to the console or into a file for later analysis.
pip install iplkp
- Asynchronous requests (through Aiohttp) allow querying information for many IP addresses while mitigating network wait time.
- Allows querying one or many IP addresses in a single run, either for RDAP, Geo IP information, or both.
- Can take a file as input parameter and automatically extract all IP addresses from it's contents.
- Caches queries by default, so it won't send requests for IP information already cached.

You can call it without specifying a particular query type, and it will return a JSON object with two keys: ip_lookup and rdap_lookup, each one of them with the queried IP(s) and their associated data.
usage: iplkp [-h] (-i IP_ADDR | -b INPUT_FILE) [-g] [-r] [-o OUTPUT_FILE] [-f] [-c]
iplkp - Geo IP and RDAP lookup tool
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-i IP_ADDR, --ip-address IP_ADDR
Fetch information for a single given IP address
-b INPUT_FILE, --bulk INPUT_FILE
Read IP addresses in bulk from INPUT_FILE
-o OUTPUT_FILE, --output OUTPUT_FILE
Write output to a given OUTPUT_FILE
-f, --force Overwrite contents of OUTPUT_FILE if it exists
-c, --no-cache Do not use cache to fetch results. Do not update it after getting IP information
Available queries:
-g, --geo-ip Only query Geo IP information for the given address or list of addresses
-r, --rdap Only query RDAP information for the given address or list of addresses
For Geo IP queries, iplkp uses the free version of https://ip-api.com/, particularly it's batch endpoint
http://ip-api.com/batch
At the time of this writing, it had a rate limit of 15 calls every 60 seconds, and a batch of 100 IPs could be attached to each call. When given a list of IPs, iplkp automatically calculates the necessary rate to query the API in order to avoid going over the limit.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to find a public API which would allow me to query RDAP information for IPs in bulk. The only way I could make iplkp get this data was to send HTTP requests to http://rdap.arin.net/registry/ip/. This didn't scale well, and after a while I noticed that ARIN would throttle if not drop requests altogether. In order to mitigate this, iplkp implements a sort of Round Robin algorithm, which query different RDAP registries on each request, while also opening more than one connection to them in order to maximize throughput. RDAP information is currently queried from the following sources:
- http://rdap.arin.net/registry/ip/
- http://rdap.db.ripe.net/ip/
- http://rdap.apnic.net/ip/
- http://rdap.lacnic.net/rdap/ip/
- http://rdap.afrinic.net/rdap/ip/
While the API to query Geo IP data provides a clear indication of it's rate limits (which are pretty generous, allowing iplkp to query ~1500 IPs every 60 seconds), RDAP information providers are not explicit about their rate limits.
iplkp is conservative in this sense, and aims to be a well-behaved tool, so it won't open many simultaneous connections to RDAP servers. Having said that, the author of this package has tried to query up to 5000 IPs simultaneously, and the whole operation took between 600 and 700 seconds. After that, heavy throttling was noticed.
In order to run the unit tests, you must clone this repo first by doing
$ git clone https://github.com/hernan-erasmo/iplkp.git
You'll probably want to setup a virtual environment in that directory. After that, just run
$ python -m unittest -b
