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.

    const http = try chilkat.Http.init();
    defer http.deinit();
    const my_ip_address = http.quickGetStr(alloc, "https://api.ipify.org") catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try http.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    std.debug.print("My Public IP Address: {s}\n", .{my_ip_address});
