PyWiglenet

With PyWiglenet you can get the location of an WiFi Access Point using the Wigle.net API. The response should give you latitude, longitude, SSID and historical data if the network is found.

You will need a username and password (don't worry, is free) from Wigle.net.

Install

Clone the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/atarantini/pywiglenet

Install dependencies:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Use

Import and create an instance of the Wigle class with username and password; then query the API using the query method:

>>> from pywiglenet import Wigle
>>> wigle = Wigle("username", "password")
>>> print wigle.query_mac("00:14:A5:90:7A:A4")
