MAC number to vendor info

[url]/usr/bin/curl http://api.macvendors.com/[/url]

does not work any more (switched off due to misuse), have not found anything that does not require any registration (API) or offers just full screen queries = no command line option anymore.

hence my plugins (fingscan, unifi) that use that feature do not resolve any new MAC numbers any more,

still checking for alternatives.

Re: MAC number to vendor info

Not sure if it's the same folks but https://macvendorlookup.com says they are reworking their API and you can contact them to get in on the testing of it. They got DDOS'd as a result of API abuse but it looks like they are going to republish it so that they avoid that in the future.

That's who I've used for years for Mac lookups.

Then you should reach out to him, he's not eliminating the API just reworking it and if you contact him to explain your use I'm sure he'll let you in on the early phases of it.

Re: MAC number to vendor info

did that and have downloaded the complete listing, from: https://regauth.standards.ieee.org/standards-ra-web/pub/view.html#registries
trying to make this into a small python package I can attach to the plugins and make available to others

curl -L https://standards.ieee.org/develop/regauth/oui/oui.csv      |  tail -n +2  | cut -d',' -f'2,3' | sed 's/"//'> oui
curl -L https://standards.ieee.org/develop/regauth/oui28/mam.csv    |  tail -n +2  | cut -d',' -f'2,3' | sed 's/"//'> mam
curl -L https://standards.ieee.org/develop/regauth/oui36/oui36.csv  |  tail -n +2  | cut -d',' -f'2,3' | sed 's/"//'> oui36

will add a python wrapper around it to get
getMACtoVendor(MAC)

which will return vendor name
