# ipify

Essential · [Official website](https://ipify.org)

ipify is a simple public API that returns the IP address of the device making the request, in IPv4 or IPv6, as plain text or JSON. Websites and applications call it to learn a visitor's public IP address, for example for logging or security checks. Each call sends the visitor's IP address to the ipify service.
