README
public-ip
Get your public IP address - very fast!
In Node.js, it queries the DNS records of OpenDNS, Google DNS, and HTTPS services to determine your IP address. In browsers, it uses the excellent icanhaz and ipify services through HTTPS.
Install
npm install public-ip
Usage
import {publicIp, publicIpv4, publicIpv6} from 'public-ip';
console.log(await publicIp()); // Falls back to IPv4
//=> 'fe80::200:f8ff:fe21:67cf'
console.log(await publicIpv6());
//=> 'fe80::200:f8ff:fe21:67cf'
console.log(await publicIpv4());
//=> '46.5.21.123'
API
publicIp(options?)
Returns a Promise<string>
with your public IPv4 or IPv6 address. Rejects on error or timeout.
A .cancel()
method is available on the promise, which can be used to cancel the request.
publicIpv6(options?)
Returns a Promise<string>
with your public IPv6 address. Rejects on error or timeout.
A .cancel()
method is available on the promise, which can be used to cancel the request.
publicIpv4(options?)
Returns a Promise<string>
with your public IPv4 address. Rejects on error or timeout.
A .cancel()
method is available on the promise, which can be used to cancel the request.
options
Type: object
onlyHttps
Type: boolean
\
Default: false
Use a HTTPS check using the icanhazip.com service instead of the DNS query. ipify.org is used as a fallback if icanhazip.com
fails. This check is much more secure and tamper-proof, but also a lot slower. This option is only available in the Node.js version. The default behaviour is to check against DNS before using HTTPS fallback. If set to true
, it will only check against HTTPS.
fallbackUrls
Type: string[]
\
Default: []
Add your own custom HTTPS endpoints to get the public IP from. They will only be used if everything else fails. Any service used as fallback must return the IP as a plain string.
import {publicIpv6} from 'public-ip';
await publicIpv6({
fallbackUrls: [
'https://ifconfig.co/ip'
]
});
timeout
Type: number
\
Default: 5000
The time in milliseconds until a request is considered timed out.
IpNotFoundError
Error thrown when the public IP address could not be found.
CancelError
Error thrown when the operation was canceled.
