Package: get-mac
Pure-Python package to get the MAC address of network interfaces and hosts on the local network.It provides a platform-independent interface to get the MAC addresses of:System network interfaces (by interface name)Remote hosts on the local network (by IPv4/IPv6 address or hostname)It provides one function:get_mac_address()Should you use this package?If you only need the addresses of network interfaces, have a limited set of platforms to support, and are able to handle C-extension modules, then you should instead check out the excellentnetifacespackage by Alastair Houghton (@al45tair). It's significantly faster (thanks to it being C-code) and has been around a long time and seen widespread usage. However, unfortunately it is no longer maintained as ofMay 2021, so it may not be a great choice for new projects. Another great option that fits these requirements is the well-known and battle-hardenedpsutilpackage by Giampaolo Rodola.If the only system you need to run on is Linux, you can run as root, and C-extensions modules are fine, then you should instead check out thearpreqpackage by Sebastian Schrader. In some cases it can be significantly faster.If you want to usepsutil,scapy, ornetifaces, I have examples of how to do so in aGitHub Gist.InstallationStable release from PyPIpipinstallgetmacLatest development versionpipinstallhttps://github.com/ghostofgoes/getmac/archive/main.tar.gzPython examplesfromgetmacimportget_mac_addresseth_mac=get_mac_address(interface="eth0")win_mac=get_mac_address(interface="Ethernet 3")ip_mac=get_mac_address(ip="192.168.0.1")ip6_mac=get_mac_address(ip6="::1")host_mac=get_mac_address(hostname="localhost")updated_mac=get_mac_address(ip="10.0.0.1",network_request=True)# Enable debuggingfromgetmacimportgetmacgetmac.DEBUG=2# DEBUG level 2print(getmac.get_mac_address(interface="Ethernet 3"))# Change the UDP port used for updating the ARP table (UDP packet)fromgetmacimportgetmacgetmac.PORT=44444# Default is 55555print(getmac.get_mac_address(ip="192.168.0.1",network_request=True))Terminal examplesPython 2 users: usegetmac2orpython -m getmacinstead ofgetmac.getmac--help

The network request is a empty UDP packet sent to a high port,55555by default. This can be changed by settinggetmac.PORTto the desired integer value. Additionally, on Windows, this will send a UDP packet to1.1.1.1:53to attempt to determine the default interface (Note: the IP isCloudFlare's DNS server).Configurationlogging.getLogger("getmac"): Runtime messages and errors are recorded to thegetmaclogger using Python'sloggingmodule.

The wheels are available in theGitHub releases, or from PyPI with a current version ofpipand some special arguments.Python 2.5: get-mac 0.5.0Python 2.6: getmac 0.6.0Python 3.2: get-mac 0.3.0Python 3.3: get-mac 0.3.0NOTE: these versions do not have many of the performance improvements, platform support, and bug fixes that came with later releases. They generally work, just not as well. However, if you're using such an old Python, you probably don't care about all that :)NotesPython 3.10 and 3.11 should work, but are not automatically tested at the moment due to having to support 2.7If none of the arguments are selected, the default network interface for the system will be used. If the default network interface cannot be determined, then it will attempt to fallback to typical defaults for the platform (Etherneton Windows,em0on BSD,en0on OSX/Darwin, andeth0otherwise). If that fails, then it will fallback toloon POSIX systems."Remote hosts" refer to hosts in your local layer 2 network, also commonly referred to as a "broadcast domain", "LAN", or "VLAN". As far as I know, there is not a reliable method to get a MAC address for a remote host external to the LAN. If you know any methods otherwise, pleaseopen a GitHub issueor shoot me an email, I'd love to be wrong about this.The first four arguments are mutually exclusive.network_requestdoes not have any functionality when theinterfaceargument is specified, and can be safely set if using in a script.The physical transport is assumed to be Ethernet (802.3). Others, such as Wi-Fi (802.11), are currently not tested or considered. I plan to address this in the future, and am definitely open to pull requests or issues related to this, including error reports.Exceptions will be handled silently and returned as a None.If you run into problems, you can setDEBUGto true and get more     information about what's happening.

If you're having issues, then you might be using a platform I haven't been able to test. Keep calm, open a GitHub issue, and I'd be more than happy to help.Known IssuesLinux, WSL: Getting the mac of a local interface IP does not currently work (getmac --ip 10.0.0.4will fail if10.0.0.4is the IP address of a local interface). This issue may be present on other POSIX systems as well.Hostnames for IPv6 devices are not yet supported.Windows: the "default" (used when no arguments set or specified) of selecting the default route interface only works effectively ifnetwork_requestis enabled. If not,Ethernetis used as the default.IPv6 support is good but lags behind IPv4 in some places and isn't as well-tested across the supported platform set.Background and historyThe Python standard library has a robust set of networking functionality, such asurllib,ipaddress,ftplib,telnetlib,ssl, and more. Imagine my surprise, then, when I discovered there was not a way to get a seemingly simple piece of information: a MAC address. This package was born out of a need to get the MAC address of hosts on the network without needing admin permissions, and a cross-platform way get the addresses of local interfaces.In Fall 2018 the package name changed togetmacfromget-mac. This affected the package name, the CLI script, and some of the documentation. There were no changes to the core library code. While both package names will updated on PyPI, the use ofgetmacis preferred.In Summer 2020, the code was significantly refactored, moving to a class-based structure and significantly improving performance and accuracy.

The public API ofgetmacisunchangedas part of this rewrite.get_mac_address()is still the primary way of getting a MAC address, it's just the "under the hood" internals that have changed completely.It's passing tests and seems to be operable. However, with a change this large there are inevitably issues that the tests or I don't catch, so I'm doing a series of pre-releases until I'm 99% confident in it's stability.

Now it is!).Added ability to override the detected platform via--override-platformargument (CLI) orgetmac.getmac.OVERRIDE_PLATFORMvariable (Python). This will force methods for that platform to be used, regardless of the actual platform. Here's an example forcinglinuxto be used as the platform:getmac -i eth0 --override-platform linux. In version 1.0.0, this feature will added as an argument toget_mac_address().Added ability to force a specific method to be used via--force-methodargument (CLI) orgetmac.getmac.FORCE_METHODvariable (Python).

the average forget_mac_address(ip='10.0.0.100')was 1.71 seconds.
Now, the average is12.7 miliseconds, with the special case of a unpopulated
arp table being only slightly higher. This was brought about by changes in
how the arp table is populated. The original method was to use the
host'spingcommand to send an ICMP packet to the host. This took time,
which heavily delayed the ability to actually get an address. The solution
is to instead simply send a empty UDP packet to a high port. The port
this packet is sent to can be configured using the module variablegetmac.PORT."Fixed" resolution of localhost/127.0.0.1 by hardcoding the response.
This should resolve a lot of problematic edge cases. I'm ok with this
