[javascript] Get client IP address via third party web service

I would like to read my ip address from the following page(http://l2.io/ip or other) using javascript to save him in my variable "myIp".

function getMyIP() {
  var myIp;
  ...
  return myIp;
}

How can you do?

If you face an issue of CORS, you can use https://api.ipify.org/.

function httpGet(theUrl)
{
    var xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xmlHttp.open( "GET", theUrl, false );
    xmlHttp.send( null );
    return xmlHttp.responseText;
}


publicIp = httpGet("https://api.ipify.org/");
alert("Public IP: " + publicIp);

I agree that using synchronous HTTP call is not good idea. You can use async ajax call then.

This pulls back client info as well.

var get = function(u){
    var x = new XMLHttpRequest;
    x.open('GET', u, false);
    x.send();
    return x.responseText;
}

JSON.parse(get('http://ifconfig.me/all.json'))

Well, if in the HTML you import a script...

<script type="text/javascript" src="//stier.linuxfaq.org/ip.php"></script>

You can then use the variable userIP (which would be the visitor's IP address) anywhere on the page.

To redirect: <script>if (userIP == "555.555.555.55") {window.location.replace("http://192.168.1.3/flex-start/examples/navbar-fixed-top/");}</script>

Or to show it on the page: document.write (userIP);

DISCLAIMER: I am the author of the script I said to import. The script comes up with the IP by using PHP. The source code of the script is below.

<?php //Gets the IP address $ip = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR") ; Echo "var userIP = '" . $ip . "';"; ?>

    $.ajax({
        url: '//freegeoip.net/json/',
        type: 'POST',
        dataType: 'jsonp',
        success: function(location) {
            alert(location.ip);
        }
    });

This will work https too

A more reliable REST endpoint would be http://freegeoip.net/json/

Returns the ip address along with the geo-location too. Also has cross-domain requests enabled (Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *) so you don't have to code around JSONP.

    <script type="application/javascript">
            function getip(json){
            alert(json.ip); // alerts the ip address
    }
    </script>

    <script type="application/javascript" src="http://jsonip.appspot.com/?callback=getip"></script>
