Tools to Determine Your Public ‘IP’ Address(es)

It is often necessary to know the ‘IPv4’ and/or ‘IPv6’ external addresses of a workstation for ‘API’ calls. Functions are provided to use one or more external services to accomplish this task along with a wrapper function that can return results from multiple services or use a random service.

The following functions are implemented:

• myip/ip_external: Wrapper function for getting your IP address
• akamai: Use whatismyip.akamai.com to retrieve public IP address
• amazon: Use checkip.amazonaws.com to retrieve public IP address
• httpbin: Use httpbin.org to retrieve public IP address
• icanhazip: Use icanhazip to retrieve public IP address
• ipecho: Use ipecho.net/plain to retrieve public IP address
• ipinfo: Use ipinfo.io/ip to retrieve public IP address
• opendns: Use checkip.dyndns.org to retrieve public IP address
