Discussion on: Get IP Clients Addresses

View post

how to make an api like these sites ?

just look for X-Forwarded-For in your request header.
if you're using express.js something like this should work:

app.get('/get/ip', function (req, res) {
    const ipAddress =  req.headers['x-forwarded-for']?.split(',').shift() || req.socket?.remoteAddress
    res.send(ipAddress);
})

So if I make a http request to the end I will get the public IP address?

yes, it's show you the IP address of a client connecting to your web server (which in your case is Express.js)

Hi! thank you for showing interest in this post. The idea here is to fetch data from a backend server using a link provided by the backend.. If you would like to create something like this you can start learning how Rest Api works..

Hey
I actually made several rest API's (nodejs) but I could find proper source or information to make an API to get IP address without 3rd part api's. Is there any proper resource to do it? Or can you write a post on that would love to read it .
Thank you

I think for js you have to use libraries to do it... If you have tried python I think its easier in python language.... but anyway, Ill try to search about it and make a post about it also :)
