IPSpot: A Python Tool to Fetch the System's IP Address

IPSpot: A Python Tool to Fetch the System's IP Address

Overview

IPSpot is a Python library for retrieving the current system's IP address and location information. It currently supports public and private IPv4 detection using multiple API providers with a fallback mechanism for reliability. Designed with simplicity and modularity in mind, IPSpot offers quick IP and geolocation lookups directly from your machine.
