# Building the MAC address database
|
|
|
|
The MAC address database can be created using the `build-database.py` script. The script will download the latest registered MAC address block information from [https://macaddress.io](https://macaddress.io) and creates a SQLITE database file.
|
|
|
|
The generated database is read performance optimized and tried to keep as small as possible for searching MAC address OUIs (Organizationally Unique Identifiers) blocks and returning the registered company name.
|
|
|
|
$ python3 build-database.py
|
|
|
|
The final database will be named `mac-addresses.db`.
|
|
|
|
In nymea the `MacAddressDatabase` will search by default for this database file in `/usr/share/nymea/mac-addresses.db` and provides an asynch threaded mechanism to get the company name for a given MAC address.
