How to get location by IP?

Question

Django

There is an IP. It is necessary to determine the approximate location on it, preferably without using third-party services. When connecting to the site, the server must determine the approximate location of the user.
It is necessary to determine the points where the service is more popular.
It is clear that it will be used in the majority near cities, especially large ones, but it needs to be determined. If in some city, then the name of the city and its coordinates, if the village - the name of the village and its coordinates.

Answer 1

Use https://github.com/maxmind/GeoIP2-python
It can be used locally without requests to a third party API

>>> import geoip2.database

>>> reader = geoip2.database.Reader('/path/to/GeoLite2-City.mmdb')
>>>
>>> # Replace "city" with the method corresponding to the database
>>> # that you are using, e.g., "country".
>>> response = reader.city('128.101.101.101')
>>>
>>> response.country.iso_code
'US'
>>> response.country.name
'United States'
>>> response.country.names['zh-CN']
u'美国'
>>>
>>> response.subdivisions.most_specific.name
'Minnesota'
>>> response.subdivisions.most_specific.iso_code
'MN'
>>>
>>> response.city.name
'Minneapolis'
>>>
>>> response.postal.code
'55455'
>>>
>>> response.location.latitude
44.9733
>>> response.location.longitude
-93.2323
>>> reader.close()

This module is built into Django https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/contrib/...

>>> from django.contrib.gis.geoip2 import GeoIP2
>>> g = GeoIP2()
>>> g.country('google.com')
{'country_code': 'US', 'country_name': 'United States'}
>>> g.city('72.14.207.99')
{'city': 'Mountain View',
'country_code': 'US',
'country_name': 'United States',

>>> g.lat_lon('salon.com')
(39.0437, -77.4875)
>>> g.lon_lat('uh.edu')
(-95.4342, 29.834)
>>> g.geos('24.124.1.80').wkt
'POINT (-97 38)'

Answer 2

Not everything is so simple, especially with mobile Internet. For example, I am in Bryansk, and if I am on my mobile phone, my ip is Moscow. It has long been over 50% for mobile traffic, so in most cases, geo by ip is not determined accurately. Of course, in the mass scale of countries, everything is ok.
