I want to know my internet provider (external) IP address (broadband or something else) with Python.
There are multiple machines are connected to that network. I tried in different way's but I got only the local and public IP my machine. How do I find my external IP address through Python?
Thanks in advance.
Use this script :
import urllib, json
data = json.loads(urllib.urlopen("http://ip.jsontest.com/").read())
print data["ip"]
Without json :
import urllib, re
data = re.search('"([0-9.]*)"', urllib.urlopen("http://ip.jsontest.com/").read()).group(1)
print data
Other way it was to parse ifconfig (= linux) or ipconfig (= windows) command but take care with translated Windows System
(ipconfig was translated).
Example of lib for linux :
ifparser.
Secure option (with https
support)
from requests import get
get('https://ipapi.co/ip/').text
Complete JSON response
P.S. requests
module is convenient for https
support. You can try httplib though.
You'll have to use an external source you trust. Python2.x:
from urllib import urlopen
import json
url = 'http://api.hostip.info/get_json.php'
info = json.loads(urlopen(url).read())
print(info['ip'])
If you want more info, you can print more values from info
.
Non-python oneliner:
wget -q -O- icanhazip.com

TL;DR:
import ipgetter
ip=ipgetter.myip()
In my opinion the simplest solution is
f = requests.request('GET', 'http://myip.dnsomatic.com')
ip = f.text
Thats all.
my website http;//botliam.com/1.php outputs your ip so you only need these 3 lines to get your ip.
import requests
page = requests.get('http://botliam.com/1.php')
ip = page.text
what its doing is:
- opens my webpage and calls it "page"
- sets "ip" to the contents of the "page"
if you want your own server to return your external ip instead of relying on my site the code for it is below:
<?php
$ip = getenv('HTTP_CLIENT_IP')?:
getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR')?:
getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED')?:
getenv('HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR')?:
getenv('HTTP_FORWARDED')?:
getenv('REMOTE_ADDR');
echo "$ip";
?>
