since i have been working on a module/command to get the user's current public IP address, as the world sees it, and web queries seem to be the way to go, i have done some searching and found several with easy output (mostly JSON or a raw IP) and decided to share my list.

response = '{"ip":"10.20.30.40"}'

thanks! i have some more, now. but a couple of those don't work. checkip.amazonaws.com has a bad TLS key (wrong hostname reference) and once you get around that, it redirects to a login page. telize.com is down and the main page has a link to a page that explains why.
I didn't check them since I wrote the script to see my public address. It uses icanhazip.com and it works all the time.
it would have been useful if translate/NAT standards had an ICMP request which required each point where the address changes to add the new address and TTL to a list in the payload and send it back as a reply when the TTL runs out.

Useful to hackers mostly...
Some fun with it,a more fancy version of "what's my ip" that all need
To run
what_ip
git clone https://[email protected]/snippsat/what_ip.git
# Now cd into what_ip folder
python app.py
# In browser
http://127.0.0.1:5000/

is that the server code? i just found the one i made in C many years ago that used a library i wrote that simplified writing daemons (maybe as much as could be done in C). ask me for "httpaddrhtml.c" and/or "httpaddrjson.c" if you want to see the source.
Quote:is that the server code?
Yes,if you new to Flask running
python app.py st
art the build in Flask web-server.
The severer is running,then in browser
http://127.0.0.1:5000/.
Need Flask and Requests
pip install Flask requests

Cool
but i think a web-app is the more modern approach.
