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.

React Native

import { Http } from '@chilkat/react-native'

async function chilkatExample() {
  const http = new Http();
  let myIpAddress: string;
  try {
    myIpAddress = await http.quickGetStrAsync('https://api.ipify.org');
  } catch {
    console.log(http.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  console.log(`My Public IP Address: ${myIpAddress}`);
}
