Creating a GUI to Get Domain Information using Tkinter
In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a Graphical User Interface (GUI) using Tkinter that will allow us to get information about a domain such as its IP address, location, and other relevant details.
Prerequisites
To follow this tutorial, you will need to have Python installed on your computer. You can download Python from the official website. It is also recommended that you have a basic understanding of Python and Tkinter.
Getting Started
We will start by importing the necessary modules and creating a simple GUI with a label and an entry field that will allow the user to input the domain name.
# Import necessary modules
import tkinter as tk
import socket
import requests
import json
# Create a GUI
root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Domain Information")
root.geometry("400x200")
# Add label and entry field
label_domain = tk.Label(root, text="Enter Domain Name: ")
label_domain.pack()
entry_domain = tk.Entry(root, width=50)
entry_domain.pack()
Getting Domain Information
Next, we need to create a function that will retrieve the information about the domain. We will use the socket
module to get the IP address of the domain and the requests
module to get its location and other relevant details.
# Function to get domain information
def get_domain_info():
# Get IP address of the domain
domain = entry_domain.get()
ip_address = socket.gethostbyname(domain)
# Get location and other details using requests module
url = "https://ipinfo.io/" + ip_address + "/json"
response = requests.get(url)
data = json.loads(response.text)
# Display information in GUI
label_ip_address = tk.Label(root, text="IP Address: " + ip_address)
label_ip_address.pack()
label_city = tk.Label(root, text="City: " + data["city"])
label_city.pack()
label_region = tk.Label(root, text="Region: " + data["region"])
label_region.pack()
label_country = tk.Label(root, text="Country: " + data["country"])
label_country.pack()
Adding a Button
We will now add a button to the GUI that will call the get_domain_info()
function when clicked.
# Add a button to get domain information
button = tk.Button(root, text="Get Domain Information", command=get_domain_info)
button.pack()
Running the GUI
Finally, we will run the GUI using the mainloop()
function.
# Run the GUI
root.mainloop()
Full Code
Here is the complete code for our GUI to get domain information using Tkinter.
# Import necessary modules
import tkinter as tk
import socket
import requests
import json
# Create a GUI
root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Domain Information")
root.geometry("400x200")
# Add label and entry field
label_domain = tk.Label(root, text="Enter Domain Name: ")
label_domain.pack()
entry_domain = tk.Entry(root, width=50)
entry_domain.pack()
# Function to get domain information
def get_domain_info():
# Get IP address of the domain
domain = entry_domain.get()
ip_address = socket.gethostbyname(domain)
# Get location and other details using requests module
url = "https://ipinfo.io/" + ip_address + "/json"
response = requests.get(url)
data = json.loads(response.text)
# Display information in GUI
label_ip_address = tk.Label(root, text="IP Address: " + ip_address)
label_ip_address.pack()
label_city = tk.Label(root, text="City: " + data["city"])
label_city.pack()
label_region = tk.Label(root, text="Region: " + data["region"])
label_region.pack()
label_country = tk.Label(root, text="Country: " + data["country"])
label_country.pack()
# Add a button to get domain information
button = tk.Button(root, text="Get Domain Information", command=get_domain_info)
button.pack()
# Run the GUI
root.mainloop()
Conclusion
In this tutorial, we learned how to create a GUI using Tkinter to get information about a domain such as its IP address, location, and other relevant details. By combining the socket
and requests
modules with our GUI, we were able to create a simple and intuitive tool that anyone can use to get domain information. With this knowledge, you can create your own GUIs for a variety of applications and tasks.
