How to get my external IP address with node.js?

Question

I\'m using node.js and I need to get my external IP address, provided by my ISP. Is there a way to achieve this without using a service like http://myexternalip.com/raw ?

Answer 1

npm install --save public-ip from here.

Then

publicIp.v4().then(ip => {
  console.log("your public ip address", ip);
});

And if you want the local machine ip you can use this.

var ip = require("ip");
var a = ip.address();
console.log("private ip address", a);
