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

Simply use superagent

var superagent = require('superagent');
var getip = function () {
  superagent
    .get('http://ip.cn/')
    .set('User-Agent', 'curl/7.37.1')
    .end(function (err, res) {
      if (err) {
        console.log(err);
      }
      var ip = res.text.match(/\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+/)[0];
      console.log(ip)
      // Here is the result
    });
};
