ipify
A Simple IP Address API
This API is best for getting a device's public IP address.
Developers should use this API to quickly and easily get a device's public IP address, enabling them to track user activity. This API gives users access to great features such as easy-to-use APIs, returning both IPv4 and IPv6 address types, SSL encryption for secure requests, and detailed logging for all requests. Additionally, users have access to a comprehensive Test Suite for developers.
Key features
- Easy-to-use API
- returning IPv4 and IPv6 address types
- SSL Encryption
