ifconfig.co: Simple IP address lookup service

Build Status

A simple service for looking up your IP address. This is the code that powers http://ifconfig.co

Usage

Just the business, please:

$ curl ifconfig.co
127.0.0.1

$ wget -qO - ifconfig.co
127.0.0.1

$ fetch -qo - ifconfig.co
127.0.0.1

A specific header:

$ curl ifconfig.co/user-agent
curl/7.43.0

$ curl ifconfig.co/x-ifconfig-country
Norway

As JSON:

$ curl -H 'Accept: application/json' ifconfig.co
{
  "x-ifconfig-ip": "127.0.0.1"
}

$ curl ifconfig.co/x-config-ip.json
{
  "x-ifconfig-ip": "127.0.0.1"
}

Pass the appropriate flag (usually -4 and -6) to your tool to switch between IPv4 and IPv6 lookup.

The subdomain http://v4.ifconfig.co can be used to force IPv4 lookup.

Features

  • Easy to remember domain name
  • Supports IPv4 and IPv6
  • Open source
  • Fast
  • Supports typical CLI tools (curl, wget and fetch)
  • JSON output (optional)
  • Country lookup for IP address through the MaxMind GeoIP2 database

Why?

  • To scratch an itch
  • An excuse to use Go for something
  • Faster than ifconfig.me and has IPv6 support
