How could I retrieve AWS Lambda public IP address by using Python?

Question

My application is to use an link(url) to invoke lambda function ,then I want to know public IP of lambda and get page source. How could I get lambda public IP by using python? Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

You can curl to checkip.amazonaws.com to get the public IP.

import requests
requests.get('http://checkip.amazonaws.com').text.rstrip()

Output:

52.x.147.64

Answer 2

I would suggest:

from botocore.vendored import requests
requests.get('http://checkip.amazonaws.com').text.rstrip()

inside your lambda function.

Otherwise you may get an error that says that lambda cannot find requests unless you created your lambda from a .zip file that includes requests installed via pip
