I am using some code like this
import idaapi
print(idaapi.get_32bit(0x0055f4a0))
it must return 32 bit of address as int
but it returns 1408011093 is it wrong conversion? its length is less than the maximum length of int
but it somehow changes the value I expected to get return value like 5633184
get_32bit(0x0055f4a0) returns the 32-bit value in your IDB at the address 0x0055f4a0. 1408011093 decimal is 0x53EC8B55 in hex which fits in 32 bits. In little endian format this corresponds to the byte sequence 55 8B EC 53, so 0x0055f4a0 is likely a function start.
To convert hex to decimal you don't need IDA APIs but just standard Python functionality, e.g. str(int(0x0055f4a0)). But this is best discussed on Stack Overflow since that's a programming question and not RE.
