This library provides an easy way to get vendor information from a MAC address. It downloads 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.
pip install mac-vendor-lookup
from mac_vendor_lookup import MacLookup
print(MacLookup().lookup("00:80:41:12:FE"))
Output:
VEB KOMBINAT ROBOTRON
The list of MAC vendors is currently about 4MB large. By default a lazy-loading mechanism is used, that loads the list when it's needed. If it is clear that the list is needed and a wait time during the query is not desired, the list can also be loaded when the program is started:
from mac_vendor_lookup import MacLookup
mac = MacLookup()
mac.load_vendors() # <- This can take a few seconds for the first download
def find_mac(mac_address):
print(mac.lookup(mac_address)) # <- this will only take a few µs!
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
This library provides a rudimentary command line interface:
$ mac_vendor_lookup 50-D3-7F-00-01-00
