Python Forum

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to write a script that first checks some ips of mine (phone, pc, etc.) which are stored in a json file to "confirm" that I'm home. If one ip is online (indicating that I'm home) it should do something (#DoSomething1). If no ip is online it should check for my iphone location (#CheckiPhoneLocation) and this is the point where i struggle. Does someone know a way to check an iPhone location? Maybe there is an FindMyiPhone-API or one by a third party?

    data1 = json.load(f1)

    data2 = json.load(f2)

def ping(host_or_ip: str) -> bool :
    if platform.system().lower() == "windows":
        countoption = "/n"
    else:

    return not call(["ping", countoption, "1", host_or_ip],
                    stdout=DEVNULL, stderr=DEVNULL)

#Host Check
for i in data1:
    if ping(i["ip"]):
        responding_alphaHosts += 1

for i in data2:
    if ping(i["ip"]):
        responding_externalHosts += 1

    if responding_externalHosts == 0:
        #DoSomething1

    #CheckForiPhoneLocation
        if iPhoneLocation is xyz:
