Official Python client for MaxMind's GeoIP2 and GeoLite web services and a reader for MaxMind MMDB geolocation databases. It lets applications look up country, city, and other data for IP addresses.

Use cases

  • look up the country or city of an IP address in Python
  • read MaxMind GeoLite2 mmdb database files
  • query the GeoIP2 web service from a web app
  • geolocate user requests by IP for analytics or personalization
  • add IP-based location data to log processing

When to choose

  • you need IP geolocation in a Python application
  • you use MaxMind GeoIP2 or GeoLite2 data sources
  • you want an official, maintained client with sync and async support

When to avoid

  • you need offline geolocation without MaxMind data or a license
  • you need precise street-level location (IP geolocation is imprecise)
  • you work in a non-Python stack
