NBN-Py

This package provides an unofficial wrapper of the National Broadband Network’s (NBN) API. It allows you to programatically lookup address’s and examine connection details such as the connection type (FTTP, HFC, etc), service type, connection status and more.

Disclaimer: This project is not affiliated with the NBN.

Installation

Install nbnpy from the Python Package Index:

$ pip install nbnpy

Requirements

• Python 3.8+

Usage

This example gets the LocationID for an address then looks up the NBN connection details for it.

import pprint
from nbnpy.nbn import NBN

nbn_client = NBN()
location_ids = nbn_client.get_location_ids_from_address("1 Flinders Street, Melbourne VIC")

# The "get_location_ids_*" methods return a list of nearby locations
# For the purpose of this example, the first result will suffice
location_id = location_ids["suggestions"][0]["id"]

location_info = nbn_client.location_information(location_id)
pprint.pprint(location_info)
