What is my IP address?

CLI examples

$ curl www.wheder.net
10.2.69.166

$ http -b www.wheder.net
10.2.69.166

$ wget -qO- www.wheder.net
10.2.69.166

$ fetch -qo- https://www.wheder.net
10.2.69.166

$ bat -print=b www.wheder.net/ip
10.2.69.166

JSON output

$ http www.wheder.net/json
{
  "ip": "10.2.69.166",
  "ip_decimal": 167921062,
  "country_eu": false
}

Setting the Accept: application/json header also works as expected.

Plain output

Always returns the IP address including a trailing newline, regardless of user agent.

$ http www.wheder.net/ip

FAQ

How do I force IPv4 or IPv6 lookup?

As of 2018-07-25 it's no longer possible to force protocol using the v4 and v6 subdomains. IPv4 or IPv6 still can be forced by passing the appropiate flag to your client, e.g curl -4 or curl -6.
