Find My External Public IP Address

See more HTTP Examples

To find your external public IP address (not your LAN IP address, such as 192.168.1.* or 172.16.16.*, etc), your application would need to send a request to an HTTP server that can report back on the origin IP address. You can easily write a simple script on your own web server to do it, or you can use a service such as ipify.org.

This example shows how to send a request to the ipify.org endpoint to get your public IP address.

Go

    http := chilkat.NewHttp()
    my_ip_address := http.QuickGetStr("https://api.ipify.org")
    if http.LastMethodSuccess() == false {
        fmt.Println(http.LastErrorText())
        http.DisposeHttp()
        return
    }

    fmt.Println("My Public IP Address: ", *my_ip_address)

    http.DisposeHttp()
