go-get-ip

A simple library to get the current ipv4 or ipv6 address using ident.me This project does not use any external libraries and all requests are made over https.

Usage:

To download this library just run:

go get github.com/modmuss50/go-get-ip

The api is extremely easy to use, see the example below:

package main

import (
"fmt"
"github.com/modmuss50/go-get-ip"
)

func  main() {
    ip, err  := go_get_ip.GetIPV4()
    if err !=  nil {
        //Failed to get the ip address, this may happen if you do not have internet access
        panic(err)
    } else {
        fmt.Println("IPv4: "  + ip)
    }
    
    ipv6, err  := go_get_ip.GetIPV6()
    if err !=  nil {
        //Failed to get the ip address, this may happen if you do not have internet access
        //This will only work if the network is properly configured to work with ipv6
        panic(err)
    } else {
        fmt.Println("IPv6: "  + ipv6)
    }
}

Things to note:

GetIPV6 will only work when the network is configured to work with ipv6, so don't forget to gracefully handle the errors.
