MAC Address Vendor lookup CLI

This simple python script can be used to query https://macaddress.io/ to get vendor related information about a device MAC Address

Getting Started

This scripting utility has be written using the standard library included in python 3.x All you need to get started is sign up for an account here and obtain your API key.

Prerequisites

You need a standard installation of Python3 that can be obtained here

Usage

Export the API key as an environment variable MACADDRESSIO_API_KEY before running the script

On linux and MacOS

Example:

export MACADDRESSIO_API_KEY=at_VKIvhPfcPffhywNDMx61r0E1gAhKW

Note the above string is a randomly generated value and if you copy paste this exactly it will result in "error": "Access restricted. Enter the correct API key."

And then simply run

./mac_vendor.py -m "E8404079C860"

This should give output of the company name. For the above example it would show:

Cisco Systems, Inc

You can control the output format and

Code formatting

Code formatting has be done using black. I really like the philosophy of gofmt on which black is based.
