Flask based API for getting JSON information on:

• dns: shows all DNS records - hosts, MX, NS, SOA, TXT. Specify DNS servers with ?q=8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4, defaults to google DNS servers
• whois: shows whois data for requested domain
• ipwhois: shows whois data for IP addresses
• geoip: shows geoip data for resolved IPs
• host: shows nmap scan of host or ip/netmask addresses, list of hosts UP, list of hosts DOWN, and separate list of hostnames and statuses
• nmap: like hosts but shows complete port scan
• ipcalc: calculates IP subnets based on netmask, also returns basic IP data, can print all IPs in range with ?iplist

Disclaimer: standard nmap limitations apply here! This is a service on public IP it can not access local networks behind firewalls.

In order to have geoip available you need to download Maxmind's databases and put them into networktoolsapi/static/data folder as GeoIPCity.dat and GeoIPISP.dat. Please note that GeoIP ISP database is not free and is part of the MaxMind's paid tier, however if you don't want to use paid tier you can use GeoLite ASN database to get at least ASN number of the ISP. There are a few different ways to get ISP name from ASN, if you want to add this functionality submit a pull request. Change filename in settings.py under ISP_MMDB_LOCATION to use different database. This project defaults to free databases but is easily used with paid ones.
