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

Another little node module is ext-ip. The difference is, that you can use different response options, matching your coding style. It's ready to use out of the box ...

Promise

let extIP = require('ext-ip')();

extIP.get().then(ip => {
    console.log(ip);
})
.catch(err => {
    console.error(err);
});

Events

let extIP = require('ext-ip')();

extIP.on("ip", ip => {
    console.log(ip);
});

extIP.on("err", err => {
    console.error(err);
});

extIP();

Callback

let extIP = require('ext-ip')();

extIP((err, ip) => {
    if( err ){
        throw err;
    }

    console.log(ip);
});
