YSK how to get your IP address from the command line

cross-posted from: gekinzuku.com/post/98403

While it’s easy to get an IP address from popular websites such as whatismyip.com, it’s not often friendly to a context where you might need to get your IP address for command line tools.

In order to grab your IP address via the command line, there’s a page on a site called ipinfo.io/ip which only contains body content corresponding to your IP address. The easiest way to fetch that data is with the curl command (should be available on both Windows and Linux).

<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">
<span style="color:#323232;">curl ipinfo.io/ip
</span>

It may also be beneficial to add this to your .bashrc or .aliasrc on Linux systems with something like

<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">
<span style="color:#323232;">alias myip="curl ipinfo.io/ip"
</span>

Now you have an easy way to grab your IP address from the command line!

Is ‘ifconfig -all’ no longer a thing?

ip -c -br a master race

I like to be sworn at in json:

curl myip.wtf/json

ipify.org is yet another.

curl api.ipify.org

Another one: curlmyip.net

<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">
<span style="color:#323232;">curl --silent https://myipv4.p1.opendns.com/get_my_ip | jq --raw-output '.ip'
</span><span style="color:#323232;">curl --silent https://eth0.me
</span><span style="color:#323232;">curl --silent https://ifconfig.me/ip
</span><span style="color:#323232;">curl --silent https://ipecho.net/plain
</span><span style="color:#323232;">curl --silent https://ipinfo.io/ip
</span><span style="color:#323232;">dig @resolver4.opendns.com myip.opendns.com +short
</span>

That last one is generally much faster than the rest.

Also, you can add -w ‘n’ to curl commands to make it add a newline.

ip -6 addr

curl ifconfig.io works too

<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">
<span style="color:#323232;">% curl ipinfo.io/ip
</span><span style="color:#323232;">curl: (7) Failed to connect to ipinfo.io port 80 after 25 ms: Connection refused
</span><span style="color:#323232;">% curl https://ipinfo.io/ip
</span><span style="color:#323232;">curl: (7) Failed to connect to ipinfo.io port 443 after 29 ms: Connection refused
</span>

They suck and apparently block curl (and lynx and elinks) from dynamic IP, it works in Firefox or on a server with static IP.

Another one is ifconfig.me/ip so

<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">
<span style="color:#323232;">curl https://ifconfig.me/ip
</span>

that works.

Oh I had no clue they block curl from a dynamic IP. That’s a good alternative to have!

You can also use curl “eth0.me”

graham1 OP ,
@graham1@gekinzuku.com avatar

Nice! That’s a good short one as well, and I wasn’t aware of it before.

I accidentally found it while I was looking for something completely unrelated and it just stuck in my mind. 😹
