Getting my public IP via API

Is there a public API from some big company to get my public ip from within a program?

I've found http://ip-address.domaintools.com/myip.xml, which is exactly what I want, but unfortunately it blocks Python's urllib as well as many other http libraries, unless you spoof user-agent (anything doing that can't be called an API at all).

The problem is that I need this data for some potentially open source library, so we have to play by the rules. I also know that I can just do smth like print $_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR], but I don't want to server traffic to everyone using my library.

So, is there something like the URL above, but real API, that allows robots?

While not from big companies, all of these should work:

curl icanhazip.com
curl -s 'http://checkip.dyndns.org' | sed 's/.*Current IP Address: \([0-9\.]*\).*/\1/g'
host -t a dartsclink.com | sed 's/.*has address //'
curl curlmyip.com
curl ifconfig.me # this has a lot of different alternatives too, such as ifconfig.me/host

You can get your IP, and a whole bunch of other information, from my service http://ipinfo.io:

$ curl ipinfo.io
{
"ip": "67.188.232.131",
"hostname": "c-67-188-232-131.hsd1.ca.comcast.net",
"city": "Mountain View",
"region": "California",
"country": "US",
"loc": "37.385999999999996,-122.0838",
"org": "AS7922 Comcast Cable Communications, Inc.",
"phone": 650
}

If you want just the IP:

$ curl ipinfo.io/ip
67.188.232.131

That also works for other fields, eg:

$ curl ipinfo.io/org
AS7922 Comcast Cable Communications, Inc.

I use this one, easy to remember and it's shorter than others:

$ curl ifconfig.me

PROTIP: Remember that if you use curl in shell scripts you have to use -s option, otherwise it prints the download progress table.

$ echo `curl -s ifconfig.me`

In JSON format giving more details like the country and the user-agent:

Yes you may try out with whoisthisip.com
