I'm making a Skype bot and one of my commands is !trace ip_or_website_here
However, I see to be having an issue sorting out my XML Responses.
Commands.py
:
elif msg.startswith('!trace '):
debug.action('!trace command executed.')
send(self.nick + 'Tracing IP. Please Wait...')
ip = msg.replace('!trace ', '', 1);
ipinfo = functions.traceIP(ip)
send('IP Information:\n'+ipinfo)
And my functions.py
:
def traceIP(ip):
return urllib2.urlopen('http://freegeoip.net/xml/'+ip).read()
Now, my issue is that responses look like this:
!trace skype.com
Bot: Tracing IP. Please Wait...
IP Information:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Response>
<Ip>91.190.216.21</Ip>
<CountryCode>LU</CountryCode>
<CountryName>Luxembourg</CountryName>
<RegionCode></RegionCode>
<RegionName></RegionName>
<City></City>
<ZipCode></ZipCode>
<Latitude>49.75</Latitude>
<Longitude>6.1667</Longitude>
<MetroCode></MetroCode>
<AreaCode></AreaCode>
Now, I want to be able to make it work without having the XML Tags.
More like this:
IP Address: ip
Country Code: CountryCodeHere
Country Name: countrynamehere
and so on.
Any help would be appreciated.
BeautifulSoup is good for parsing XML.
>>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
>>> xml = urllib2.urlopen('http://freegeoip.net/xml/192.168.1.1').read()
>>> soup = BeautifulSoup(xml)
>>> soup.ip.text
u'192.168.1.1'
Or in more detail..
#!/usr/bin/env python
import urllib2
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
ip = "192.168.1.1"
xml = urllib2.urlopen('http://freegeoip.net/xml/' + ip).read()
soup = BeautifulSoup(xml)
print "IP Address: %s" % soup.ip.text
print "Country Code: %s" % soup.countrycode.text
print "Country Name: %s" % soup.countryname.text
Output:
IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Country Code: RD
Country Name: Reserved
(updated to latest BeautifulSoup
version)
