REST API

Quickstart

If you want to check out the API we provide, try out the following code:

$ curl https://api.kwelo.com/v1/network/ip-address/my?format=json
{"data":{"ip_address":"44.197.197.23"}}

Our API provides an easy way to retrieve your public IP address and use it in your programs. See the handy examples below.

Usage

Using our API is extremely simple. Make a HTTP GET request and fetch the results in raw text, JSON or JSONP format. For JSONP format, add ?callback="something" in the request URL.

Our commitments

• You can use this API for free but there is a sensible rate-limiting in place, see below.
• The service is deployed on highly available clusters of major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, etc.) which means it should always be up, no matter what.
• This API is here to stay ! My own software depends on these services so I'll keep them running and improving for the years to come.
• I'm a bit obsessed with quality and performance. If you see anything strange or slow, contact me.
• You can query information about IPv4 and IPv6, both work. But currently the service will only detect your public IPv4 addresses. I'm actively looking to make it available for IPv6 too.

Rate-limiting

The requests are throttled at 1 per second which should be plenty for most use cases. If you hit the speed limit the service will return a 429 http status code.

If you need more, you can get unlimited access for a small contribution by reaching out to me at hello@kwelo.com and we'll sort things out depending on your situation and use-case.

// Init libcURL

curlpp::Cleanup myCleanup;

// Send request and get a result.

string publicIpAddress = os.str();
std::cout << "My current IP address is " << publicIpAddress;
