In this article we will see how to make a simple PyQt5 application to get the IP address IP Address : An Internet Protocol address is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. An IP address serves two main functions: host or network interface identification and location addressing. Modules required and Installation: PyQt5 : PyQt5 is a Python binding of the cross-platform GUI toolkit Qt, implemented as a Python plug-in. PyQt5 is free software developed by the British firm Riverbank Computing. Requests : Requests allows you to send HTTP/1.1 requests extremely easily. There’s no need to manually add query strings to your URLs.
Steps for implementation : 1. Create a window 2. Create push button and set its geometry 3. Create label and set its geometry, border and alignment 4. Add action to the push button i.e when button get pressed action method should get called 5. Inside the action method with the help of requests to fetch the data 6. Filter the data to the get the IP address 7. Show IP address on the screen with the help of label
Below is the implementation
# importing libraries from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui
from PyQt5.QtGui import *
from PyQt5.QtCore import *
import requests
import sys
class Window(QMainWindow):
def __init__( self ):
super ().__init__()
# setting title
self .setWindowTitle("Python ")
# setting geometry
self .setGeometry( 100 , 100 , 400 , 500 )
# calling method
self .UiComponents()
# showing all the widgets
self .show()
# method for widgets
def UiComponents( self ):
# create push button to perform function
push = QPushButton("Press", self )
# setting geometry to the push button
push.setGeometry( 125 , 100 , 150 , 40 )
# creating label to show the ip
self .label = QLabel("Press button to see your IP", self )
# setting geometry to the push button
self .label.setGeometry( 100 , 200 , 200 , 40 )
# setting alignment to the text
self .label.setAlignment(Qt.AlignCenter)
# adding border to the label
self .label.setStyleSheet("border : 3px solid black;")
# adding action to the push button
push.clicked.connect( self .get_ip)
# method called by push
def get_ip( self ):
# getting data
r = requests.get("http: / / httpbin.org / ip")
# json data with key as origin
ip = r.json()[ 'origin' ]
# parsing the data
parsed = ip.split(", ")[ 0 ]
# showing the ip in label
self .label.setText(parsed)
# setting font
self .label.setFont(QFont( 'Times' , 12 ))
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
window.show() # start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
