EDIT: WiGLE have retired this API and moved to api/v2
There is now a Python wrapper for the API which you can install using pip install pygle.

This can be used in conjunction with something like scapy to find the location of the system on which the code is running, for example for a lost laptop. It can then send a message home so that it can be tracked down.
Hi, I try to use this class with my userid and my password. The code is the follow:\n
but I have this response from Wigle https://gist.githubusercontent.com/paolodirollo/0ea91370651914522966/raw/b56fe3410fabde0f08101398e9d0f583796fc235/response What kind of error it is? How can I solve? Thank you in andvance
Hi Paolo, The API seems to have changed to a much nicer one which returns JSON. I'm just testing a new version of this recipe and will update once it's working.
Updated now.
Thank you very much, I have been looking for some solution the last two days. Can you kindly send me a link to the documentation? the only resource that I found is this: http://www5.musatcha.com/musatcha/computers/wigleapi.htm and it is updated to 2005.
I've not seen any documentation. I just sent a request manually, looked at the request headers in Chrome Developer tools network tab, and went from there. Feel free to fork and extend this recipe though if you'd like to make more of the API accessible.
Hi Jamie, ok. There is only a little error on line 53, you should substitute "resp_lat" with "resp_lng"
Thanks. Fixed now.
Hi , is there any way to work on asp.net ? because i tried python dose not worked with me!
I don't see why not. It's just consuming an API.
Jamie Bull, the problem is i want to try my query which is try to find free Wifi on the wigle.net but the problem is dose not allow me to do that :( is there any recommendation from you ? thanks
i tried this code on python but error will popup here Traceback (most recent call last): File "python", line 59 print wi.get_lat_lng('00:1C:0E:42:79:43') ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Heads up API change. could you update? ```
also hand jammed to make sure i wasn't being dumb. URL: https://wigle.net/api/v1/jsonSearch?netid=00:22:55:DF:C8:01
output:

Feel free to fork it though.
(Sorry, for digging an old thread)
This works great, but very quickly I get the message { "success":false,"message":"too many queries" }
It only takes few requests to get blocked. And it takes several hours for it to work again.
Is there any trick or workaround for this problem? It would be greatly appreciated
Sorry, I've not used this for a long time so no idea what the limits are. You'll probably need to use a proxy list though if it's rate limiting by IP.
If it's username/key based limiting (probably more likely) then you might have more difficulty.
I tried Changing the query from Mac to SSID but I keep receiving the error MAC Location unknown, any hints?
Afraid not. I've not used this for a long time.
