Get your own ip address

getownip - A python script to determine your ip address

Example:

import getownip
print("public IPv4: " + getownip.get(getownip.Public, getownip.IPv4))
print("local IPv6: " + getownip.get(getownip.Local, getownip.IPv6))

To retrieve a local ip address, a default route must exist. Otherwise, None is returned.

When retrieving a public ip address, a random one of a list of servers is accessed. Currently, the following list of servers is used:

service	IPv4	IPv6
ipv4.cf	yes
icanhazip.com	yes	yes
ipaddress.com	yes
getmyip.dev	yes	yes
ipinfo.io	yes
l2.io	yes
my-ip.io	yes	yes
ident.me	yes	yes
ifconfig.me	yes
ipify.org	yes	yes
seeip.org	yes	yes

If one of these services fails to answer, another one will be tried until every service has failed. In this case, the last occurred exception will be thrown.
