GeoIP2Fast is the fastest GeoIP2 country/city/asn lookup library. A search takes less than 0.00003 seconds. It has its own data file updated with Maxmind-Geolite2-CSV, supports IPv4 and IPv6, works on Python3, Pypy3 and is Pure Python!
With it´s own datafile (geoip2fast.dat.gz), can be loaded into memory in ~0.07 seconds and has a small footprint for all data, so you don´t need to make requests to any webservices or connect to an external database. And it works on Linux, Windows and MacOS!
And now you can download .dat.gz from your own application or via the command line. See more at Update your database automatically
GeoIP2Fast returns ASN NAME, COUNTRY ISO CODE, COUNTRY NAME, CITY NAME/STATE/DISTRICT and CIDR. There is no external dependencies, you just need the geoip2fast.py file and the desired data file .dat.gz. The lookup speed is the same for any data file.

City databases are not included in the pip installation package, if you want to:
- download them manually from DAT Files LATEST Release
- or create them yourself using
geoip2dat.py. City data already includes country data. - or download using the new function GeoIP2Fast.update_all() read more below
| Download Content | File Name | File Size | Load Time | RAM Footprint |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| City IPv4 | geoip2fast-city.dat.gz |

| City+ASN IPv4+IPv6 | geoip2fast-city-asn-ipv6.dat.gz |
17 MiB | ~0.70 sec | ~430.0 MiB |
If you are using pypy3, the loading time will increase a little, but the speed will be a little faster and the memory footprint will be lower.
The new v1.2.X databases are not compatible with versions equal to or older than v1.1.X, and vice versa, obviously. The last version with support only for countries and ASN only is v1.1.X, which is still available with this command line: pip install geoip2fast==1.1.10.
What's new in v1.2.2 - 20/Jun/2024
- DAT files updated with MAXMIND:GeoLite2-CSV_20240618
- Removed the line "sys.tracebacklimit = 0" that was causing some problems
in Django. This line is unnecessary (https://github.com/rabuchaim/geoip2fast/issues/10)
- Maxmind inserted a new field into the CSV files called "is_anycast", and this broke
geoip2dat.py CSV reader. Insertion of the new field in the list of "fields" of
the CSV reader that generates the .dat.gz files so that they can be updated.
- There are 2 reduced versions available for you to copy and paste
into your own code without any dependencies and fast as always!
Check these files in your library path:
- geoip2fastmin.py (429 lines)
- geoip2fastminified.py (183 lines)
It's in testing, but please open an issue if you have any problems
with either of these 2 versions.
- Removed functools.lru_cache. It is very useful when you have a function
that is repeated several times but takes a long time, which is not the
case of GeoIP2Fast where functions take milliseconds. On each call,
functools checks whether the value is already cached or not, and this
takes time. And we noticed that without functools and using the processor
and operating system's own cache makes GeoIP2Fast much faster without it
even if you are searching for an IP for the first time.
You can run tests and you will see that without functools.lru_cache
it is faster. If you want to use lru_cache, you can uncomment the
respective lines of code. There are 5 lines commented with @functools.lru_cache
- As requested, 2 new methods to return a coverage of IPv4 and IPv6.
def get_ipv4_coverage()->float
def get_ipv6_coverage()->float
- New function get_database_info() that returns a dictionary with
detailed information about the data file currently in use.
- Made some adjustments to the --missing-ips and --coverage functions.
- Now you can specify the data filename to be used on geoip2fast cli:
geoip2fast geoip2fast-ipv6.dat.gz --self-test
geoip2fast 9.9.9.9,1.1.1.1,2a10:8b40:: geoip2fast-asn-ipv6.dat.gz
- New functions to generate random IP addresses to be used in tests.
Returns a list if more than 1 IP is requested, otherwise returns a
string with only 1 IP address. If you request an IPv6 and the database
loaded does not have IPv6 data, returns False. And the fuction of
private address, returns an random IPv4 from network 10.0.0.0/8 or
172.16.0.0/12 or 192.168.0.0/16.
def generate_random_private_address(self,num_ips=1)->string or a list
def generate_random_ipv4_address(self,num_ips=1)->string or a list
def generate_random_ipv6_address(self,num_ips=1)->string or a list
- Put some flowers
pip install geoip2fast- You can create your own dat.gz file using geoip2dat.py file.
- You can also download the latest dat files that are updated automatically on Tuesdays and Fridays
- And you can update the dat files downloading from our releases repository, via code or via command line.
GeoIP2Fast has 4 datafiles included. Tha main file is geoip2fast.dat.gz with support Country lookups and only IPv4. Usually, these files are located into the library directory (/usr/local/lib/python3.XX/dist-packages/geoip2fast), but you can place it into the same directory of your application. The library automatically checks both paths, And the directory of your application overlaps the directory of the library. You can use an specific location also.
The bisect() function is used together with some ordered lists of integers to search the Network/CountryCode (Yes! an IP address has an integer representation, try to ping this number: ping 134744072 or this ping 2130706433 ).
If GeoIP2Fast does not have a network IP address that was requested, a "not found in database" error will be returned. Unlike many other libraries that when not finding a requested network, gives you the geographical location of the network immediately below. The result is not always correct.
Data file updates are made available twice a week in our github releases. Files with City data and IPv6 support can also be downloaded there.
There are network gaps in the files we use as a source of data, and these missing networks are probably addresses that those responsible have not yet declared their location. Of all IPv4 on the internet (almost 4.3 billions IPs), our coverage is around 99.64% and we do not have information on approximately 15 million of them (~0,36%). It must be remembered that the geographical accuracy is the responsibility of the network block owners. If the owner (aka ASN) of the XXX.YYY.ZZZ.D/24 network range declares that his network range is located at "Foo Island", we must believe that an IP address of that network is there.
Don't go to Foo Island visit a girl you met on the internet just because you looked up her IP on GeoIP2Fast and the result indicated that she is there.
Once the object is created, GeoIP2Fast loads automatically all needed data into memory. The lookup function returns an object called GeoIPDetail. And you can get the values of it's properties just calling the name of proprerty: result.ip, result.country_code, result.country_name, result.city.name, result.city.subsubdivision_code, result.city.subsubdivision_name, result.cidr, result.is_private, result.asn_name,result.asn_cidr and result.elapsed_time. Or use the function to_dict() to get the result as a dict. You can get values like result.to_dict()['country_code']
When using it as a Python library, if you want to load a file other than geoip2fast.dat.gz, you simply create the object by typing the name of the file you want to work with. The library first looks for the given file in the current directory and then in the library directory. If desired, you can directly specify the path. If don´t specify any file, the default geoip2fast.dat.gz will be used. Example:
>>> from geoip2fast import GeoIP2Fast
>>> geoip = GeoIP2Fast(geoip2fast_data_file="/my_data_files_path/geoip2fast-city-asn-ipv6.dat.gz",verbose=True)

The options (--country-dir OR --city-dir) AND --output-dir are mandatory. Specify the path of extracted files in --country-dir or --city-dir option. And for --output-dir, put the current path ./.
If you want to add support for ASN data, add the option --asn-dir. And if you want to add IPv6 support, just add --with-ipv6 to your command line.
You can choose the language of country locations. The default is en.
After creation of geoip2dat.dat.gz file, move or copy this file to the directory of your application or to the directory of GeoIP2Fast library. You choose.
From now you don't depend on anyone to have your data file updated. There's no point the code being open-source if you're dependent of a single file.
The Philosophers call it 'Libertas'
From version v1.2.1 onwards, it is now possible to update the dat.gz files that were made available in our releases repository. You can update via command line or via code.

1I´m planning to create an option to include your own networks in the database. For example, imagine you have a large private network on AWS, and each subnet is in a different region. You will be able to include them in the database to use GeoIP2Fast in your application. For now, you can edit the reservedNetworks variable at the beginning of the geoip2dat.py file and then generate your own data file.
Suggestions and ideas are welcome. The initial idea is to include an option --include-networks in geoip2dat.py where you enter a json file.
- Create a file named
geoipcli.pyand save it in your home directory with the text below:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import os, sys, geoip2fast
if len(sys.argv) > 1 and sys.argv[1] is not None:
geoip2fast.GeoIP2Fast().lookup(sys.argv[1]).pp_json(print_result=True)
else:
print(f"Usage: {os.path.basename(__file__)} <ip_address>")- Give execution permisstion to your file and create a symbolic link to your new file into
/usr/sbinfolder, like this (let's assume that you saved this file into directory/root)
chmod 750 /root/geoipcli.py
ln -s /root/geoipcli.py /usr/sbin/geoipcli- Now, you just need to call
geoipclifrom any path.
# geoipcli
Usage: geoipcli <ip_address>
# geoipcli 1.2.3.4

}GeoIP2Nation - https://pypi.org/project/geoip2nation/ (Created by Avi Asher)
This library uses sqlite3 in-memory tables and use the same search concepts as GeoIP2Fast (based on search by the first´s IPs). Simple and fast! Unfortunately it is no longer being updated and that is why I developed GeoIP2Fast.
GeoIP2 - https://pypi.org/project/geoip2/ (Created by Maxmind)
This is the best library to work with Maxmind paid subscription or with the free version. You can use http requests to Maxmind services or work with local Maxmind MMDB binary files. Pretty fast too. Sign-up to have access to all files of the free version https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geolite2-free-geolocation-data
* Maxmind is a registered trademark - https://www.maxmind.com
- a GeoIP2Fast Server that supports our dat.gz and any kind of mmdb file; **<<< In final tests! the FASTORNADO Server **
- a version to support any kind of MMDB file with coordinates and more; **<<< ON THE WAY! **
- a better manual, maybe at readthedocs.io;
- a mod_geoip2fast for NGINX;
- Done in v1.1.10/v1.2.1 - automatic update of dat.gz files;
- Done in v1.2.0 - a version with cities;
- Done in v1.1.0 - IPv6 support.
- Done in v1.0.5 - a version with ASN.
- Done in v1.0.2 - provide a script to update the base. If you have the paid subscription of Maxmind, you can download the files, extract into some directory and use this script to create your own geoip2fast.dat.gz file with the most complete, reliable and updated GeoIP information.
