IPInfoManager¶

The IPInfoManager class handles IP geolocation using IPInfo's database.

Class Definition¶

class IPInfoManager:
    def __init__(
        self,
        token: str,
        db_path: Optional[Path] = None
    ):
        """
        Initialize IPInfoManager with IPInfo token.

        :param token: IPInfo API token
        :param db_path: Optional custom path for database storage
        """

Methods¶

initialize¶

async def initialize(self):
    """
    Initialize and download the database if needed.
    """

get_country¶

def get_country(self, ip: str) -> Optional[str]:
    """
    Get country code for an IP address.
    """

close¶

def close(self):
    """
    Close the database connection.
    """

Redis Caching¶

The database is cached in Redis with 24-hour TTL when enabled:

# Get cached database
db_content = await redis.get_key("ipinfo", "database")

# Force refresh cache
await ipinfo_db.initialize()  # Will update Redis cache

Usage Example¶

from guard.handlers.ipinfo_handler import IPInfoManager
from pathlib import Path

# Initialize with custom database location
ipinfo_db = IPInfoManager(
    token="your_token",
    db_path=Path("/custom/path/ipinfo.db") # default is ./data/ipinfo/country_asn.mmdb
)
await ipinfo_db.initialize()

# Get country for IP
country = ipinfo_db.get_country("8.8.8.8")
print(f"Country: {country}")  # Output: "US"

# Clean up
ipinfo_db.close()
