Can we program (probably in python) to get the server location from where we are accessing the webpage.
P.S. Its just for fun and to get in-depth knowledge.

Answer
This is an example of fetching server location using one of the APIs.
There are many others site options such as keycdn, iplocation and more.
import json import urllib.request GEO_IP_API_URL = 'http://ip-api.com/json/' # Can be also site URL like this : 'google.com' IP_TO_SEARCH = '87.250.250.3' # Creating request object to GeoLocation API req = urllib.request.Request(GEO_IP_API_URL+IP_TO_SEARCH) # Getting in response JSON response = urllib.request.urlopen(req).read() # Loading JSON from text to object json_response = json.loads(response.decode('utf-8')) # Print country print(json_response['country'])
