Find the vendor for a given MAC address
Project description
Mac Vendor Lookup
This library provides an easy way to get vendor information from a MAC address. It contains a local copy of the IEEE's OUI prefix list. It has an asynchronous interface using Python 3's asyncio as well as a regular synchronous interface for old-school usage.
Installation
pip install mac-vendor-lookup
Basic Usage
from mac_vendor_lookup import MacLookup print(MacLookup().lookup("00:80:41:12:FE"))
Output:
VEB KOMBINAT ROBOTRON
Update the vendor list
The library contains a list of MAC prefixes obtained at build-time. If you need up-to-date information, you can
download a fresh copy of the list directly from IEEE with
MacLookup.update_vendors or
AsyncMacLookup.update_vendors:
from mac_vendor_lookup import MacLookup mac = MacLookup() mac.update_vendors() # <- This can take a few seconds for the download def find_mac(mac_address): print(mac.lookup(mac_address))
Async Interface
There is also an asynchronous interface available:
from mac_vendor_lookup import AsyncMacLookup async def main(): mac = AsyncMacLookup() print(await mac.lookup("98:ED:5C:FF:EE:01"))
Output:
Tesla Motors, Inc
Command line interface
This library provides a rudimentary command line interface:
$ mac_vendor_lookup 50-D3-7F-00-01-00 Yu Fly Mikly Way Science and Technology Co., Ltd. $ python3 -m mac_vendor_lookup 00:26:12:12:FE Space Exploration Technologies
