A simple service for looking up your IP address. This is the code that powers https://ifconfig.co
Just the business, please:
$ curl ifconfig.co
127.0.0.1
$ http ifconfig.co
127.0.0.1
$ wget -qO- ifconfig.co
127.0.0.1
$ fetch -qo- http://ifconfig.co
127.0.0.1
Country and city lookup:
$ http ifconfig.co/country
Elbonia
$ http ifconfig.co/city
Bornyasherk
As JSON:
$ http --json ifconfig.co
{
"city": "Bornyasherk",
"country": "Elbonia",
"ip": "127.0.0.1",
"ip_decimal": 2130706433
}
Pass the appropriate flag (usually -4
and -6
) to your tool to switch between
IPv4 and IPv6 lookup.
The subdomains https://v4.ifconfig.co and https://v6.ifconfig.co can be used to force IPv4 or IPv6 lookup.
