How do I get the IP address from a http request using the requests library?

It turns out that it's rather involved.

Here's a monkey-patch while using requests version 1.2.3:

Wrapping the _make_request method on HTTPConnectionPool to store the response from socket.getpeername() on the HTTPResponse instance.

For me on python 2.7.3, this instance was available on response.raw._original_response.

from requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool import HTTPConnectionPooldef _make_request(self,conn,method,url,**kwargs):    response = self._old_make_request(conn,method,url,**kwargs)    sock = getattr(conn,'sock',False)    if sock:        setattr(response,'peer',sock.getpeername())    else:        setattr(response,'peer',None)    return responseHTTPConnectionPool._old_make_request = HTTPConnectionPool._make_requestHTTPConnectionPool._make_request = _make_requestimport requestsr = requests.get('http://www.google.com')print r.raw._original_response.peer

Yields:

('2a00:1450:4009:809::1017', 80, 0, 0)

Ah, if there's a proxy involved or the response is chunked, the HTTPConnectionPool._make_request isn't called.

So here's a new version patching httplib.getresponse instead:

import httplibdef getresponse(self,*args,**kwargs):    response = self._old_getresponse(*args,**kwargs)    if self.sock:        response.peer = self.sock.getpeername()    else:        response.peer = None    return responsehttplib.HTTPConnection._old_getresponse = httplib.HTTPConnection.getresponsehttplib.HTTPConnection.getresponse = getresponseimport requestsdef check_peer(resp):    orig_resp = resp.raw._original_response    if hasattr(orig_resp,'peer'):        return getattr(orig_resp,'peer')

Running:

>>> r1 = requests.get('http://www.google.com')>>> check_peer(r1)('2a00:1450:4009:808::101f', 80, 0, 0)>>> r2 = requests.get('https://www.google.com')>>> check_peer(r2)('2a00:1450:4009:808::101f', 443, 0, 0)>>> r3 = requests.get('http://wheezyweb.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorial.html#what-you-ll-build')>>> check_peer(r3)('162.209.99.68', 80)

Also checked running with proxies set; proxy address is returned.

est offers an alternative that doesn't need the monkey-patch:

rsp = requests.get('http://google.com', stream=True)# grab the IP while you can, before you consume the body!!!!!!!!print rsp.raw._fp.fp._sock.getpeername()# consume the body, which calls the read(), after that fileno is no longer available.print rsp.content

From the comments, copying here for visibility, Richard Kenneth Niescior offers the following that is confirmed working with requests 2.10.0 and Python 3.

rsp=requests.get(..., stream=True)rsp.raw._connection.sock.getpeername()

Update 2019/02/22

Python3 with requests version 2.19.1.

resp=requests.get(..., stream=True)resp.raw._connection.sock.socket.getsockname()

Update 2020/01/31

Python3.8 with requests 2.22.0

resp = requests.get('https://www.google.com', stream=True)resp.raw._connection.sock.getsockname()

Try:

import requestsproxies = {  "http": "http://user:password@10.10.1.10:3128",  "https": "http://user:password@10.10.1.10:1080",}response = requests.get('http://jsonip.com', proxies=proxies)ip = response.json()['ip']print('Your public IP is:', ip)
