Command-Line IP Lookup (curl, JSON)

FindMyIPLocation answers command-line tools with plain text, so you can get your public IP address in scripts, servers and terminals without parsing HTML.

Your IP address

curl findmyiplocation.com

Returns just your IP address and a line break. It works with wget -qO- findmyiplocation.com, HTTPie (http findmyiplocation.com) and similar tools.

IPv4 or IPv6 explicitly:

curl -4 findmyiplocation.com
curl -6 findmyiplocation.com

PowerShell:

(Invoke-RestMethod https://findmyiplocation.com/ip).Trim()

Single values

curl findmyiplocation.com/country

JSON

curl findmyiplocation.com/json

{
  "ip": "203.0.113.42",
  "version": 4,
  "country": "Germany",
  "country_code": "DE",
  "region": "Hesse",
  "city": "Frankfurt am Main",
  "postal": "60311",
  "latitude": 50.1109,
  "longitude": 8.6821,
  "timezone": "Europe/Berlin",
  "asn": 64500,
  "org": "Example Telecom GmbH",
  "continent": "Europe",
  "eu": true
}

The /json endpoint sends Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, so you can call it from JavaScript in the browser:

const me = await fetch('https://findmyiplocation.com/json').then((r) => r.json());

Examples

Use your IP in a shell script:

MYIP=$(curl -s findmyiplocation.com)
echo "Allowing $MYIP in the firewall"

Python:

import urllib.request
print(urllib.request.urlopen("https://findmyiplocation.com/ip").read().decode().strip())

Fair use

• Free, no sign-up and no API key.
• Up to 120 requests per minute per IP address. For monitoring, one request every few minutes is plenty.
• Responses are never cached, so you always get your current address.
• Locations are approximate. See how accurate IP geolocation is.

These endpoints describe your own connection only. To look up other addresses, use the IP Lookup or Bulk IP Lookup in your browser.
