# echoip
![Build Status](https://github.com/mpolden/echoip/workflows/ci/badge.svg)
A simple service for looking up your IP address. This is the code that powers
https://ifconfig.co.
## Usage
Just the business, please:
```
$ curl ifconfig.co
127.0.0.1
$ http ifconfig.co
127.0.0.1
$ wget -qO- ifconfig.co
127.0.0.1
$ fetch -qo- https://ifconfig.co
127.0.0.1
$ bat -print=b ifconfig.co/ip
127.0.0.1
```
Country and city lookup:
```
$ curl ifconfig.co/country
Elbonia
$ curl ifconfig.co/country-iso
EB
$ curl ifconfig.co/city
Bornyasherk
$ curl ifconfig.co/asn
AS59795
```
As JSON:
```
$ curl -H 'Accept: application/json' ifconfig.co # or curl ifconfig.co/json
{
"city": "Bornyasherk",
"country": "Elbonia",
"country_iso": "EB",
"ip": "127.0.0.1",
"ip_decimal": 2130706433,
"asn": "AS59795",
"asn_org": "Hosting4Real"
}
```
Port testing:
```
$ curl ifconfig.co/port/80
{
"ip": "127.0.0.1",
"port": 80,
"reachable": false
}
```
Pass the appropriate flag (usually `-4` and `-6`) to your client to switch
between IPv4 and IPv6 lookup.
## Features
* Easy to remember domain name
* Fast
* Supports IPv6
* Supports HTTPS
* Supports common command-line clients (e.g. `curl`, `httpie`, `ht`, `wget` and `fetch`)
* JSON output
* ASN, country and city lookup using the MaxMind GeoIP database
* Port testing
* All endpoints (except `/port`) can return information about a custom IP address specified via `?ip=` query parameter
* Open source under the [BSD 3-Clause license](https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause)
## Why?
* To scratch an itch
* An excuse to use Go for something
* Faster than ifconfig.me and has IPv6 support
## Building
Compiling requires the [Golang compiler](https://golang.org/) to be installed.
This package can be installed with:
`go install github.com/mpolden/echoip/...@latest`
For more information on building a Go project, see the [official Go
documentation](https://golang.org/doc/code.html).
## Docker image
A Docker image is available on [Docker
Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/mpolden/echoip), which can be downloaded with:
`docker pull mpolden/echoip`
