Example

When specifying query parameters within a URL, you should separate them with an ampersand (&). When specifying query parameters within a JSON object, you should use lists for the request parameters.

We've provided code samples in cURL, Python, Ruby, Go and JavaScript. If you aren't comfortable working in any of these languages, feel free to use this handy tool to convert code from cURL to the language of your choice.

# Create a client, specifying your API key
CLIENT = PDLPY(
    api_key="YOUR API KEY",

# Create a parameters JSON object
PARAMS = {
    "ip": "72.212.42.169"
}

# Pass the parameters object to the IP Enrichment API
json_response = CLIENT.ip(**PARAMS).json()

# Check for successful response
if json_response["status"] == 200:
  record = json_response['data']

  # Print selected fields
  print(
    record['ip']["location"]["metro"],
    record['company']["name"]
  )

  print(f"Successfully enriched ip with PDL data.")

  # Save enrichment data to JSON file

    out.write(json.dumps(record) + "\n")
else:
  print("Enrichment unsuccessful. See error and try again.")
