lte_cell_locate

This is a script used to return an approximate location based on a hex string input containing cell tower information. It makes use of Google Geolocation and Maps APIs.

  • Hex string input is parsed

  • Geolocation request is formed

  • Geolocation response is parsed

  • Maps URL is formed with parsed Geoloc response (lat, lng) & opened

  • If input is left empty, a known test string is used instead

Usage

You will need need a Google Geolocation API key(GEO_API_KEY) and the API usage and billing information (you need to enable billing on your project).

  • Data piped to stdin must contain cell tower information.
$ export GEO_API_KEY=value
$ echo "data_to_parse" | python3 cell_geolocate.py
  • Script will exit with status 0 if successful
  • exit 1: input parse error
  • exit 2: cell info not found
  • exit 3 | 4: geolocation request failed
