Retrieving the client request ip address
You can get this information by fetching it from an open IP
fetch("https://api.ipdata.co") .then(response => { return response.json(); }, "jsonp") .then(res => { console.log(res.ip) }) .catch(err => console.log(err))
It seems like https://api.ipdata.co doesn't work anymore, even when specifying a key. I ended up using (typescript):
private getMyIp() { fetch('https://api.ipify.org?format=json').then(response => { return response.json(); }).then((res: any) => { this.myIp = _.get(res, 'ip'); }).catch((err: any) => console.error('Problem fetching my IP', err))}This is a good reference for other services: https://ourcodeworld.com/articles/read/257/how-to-get-the-client-ip-address-with-javascript-only
This works!
async componentDidMount() { const response = await fetch('https://geolocation-db.com/json/'); const data = await response.json(); this.setState({ ip: data.IPv4 }) alert(this.state.ip)}use it in jsx as
{this.state.ip}
