Here's how to find the IP address on the Android phone:Go to your phone's settings. Select “About device.” Tap on “Status.” Here you can find information about your device, including the IP address.
netaddr is a Python library for representing and manipulating network addresses. IPAddress('input ip'). is_private() will return true if the input ip address private, else it will return false.
Currently there are several options:
Below are exact ways you can utilize each of the above.
from urllib2 import urlopen my_ip = urlopen('http://ip.42.pl/raw').read() This is the first option I have found. It is very convenient for scripts, you don't need JSON parsing here.
from json import load from urllib2 import urlopen my_ip = load(urlopen('http://jsonip.com'))['ip'] Seemingly the sole purpose of this domain is to return IP address in JSON.
from json import load from urllib2 import urlopen my_ip = load(urlopen('http://httpbin.org/ip'))['origin'] httpbin.org is service I often recommend to junior developers to use for testing their scripts / applications.
from json import load from urllib2 import urlopen my_ip = load(urlopen('https://api.ipify.org/?format=json'))['ip'] Power of this service results from lack of limits (there is no rate limiting), infrastructure (placed on Heroku, with high availability in mind) and flexibility (works for both IPv4 and IPv6).
EDIT: Added httpbin.org to the list of available options.
EDIT: Added ipify.org thanks to kert's note.
