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.

load ./chilkat.dll

set http [new_CkHttp]

set my_ip_address [CkHttp_quickGetStr $http "https://api.ipify.org"]
if {[CkHttp_get_LastMethodSuccess $http] == 0} then {
    puts [CkHttp_lastErrorText $http]
    delete_CkHttp $http
    exit
}

puts "My Public IP Address: $my_ip_address"

delete_CkHttp $http
