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
info is a dictionary, it has no order. Each time you print it the order will be different.You can check out this answer:

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:
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";
?>
import socket socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname()).Now i am getting ip address that is assigned to my machine. Not network provider's ip address
