An unofficial ipify Ruby gem. Get your external IP address.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'ipify'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install ipify
Pretty simple, you can either ignore exceptions or deal with them:
require 'ipify'
# deal w/errors!
begin
ip = Ipify.ip!
# => '1.2.3.4'
rescue Ipify::ConnectionError
# failed to connect to the service
rescue Ipify::ServiceError
# ipify.org is having issues!
rescue
# something else...
end
# ignore errors!
ip = Ipify.ip
# => '1.2.3.4'
