gip v3.0.2

🐷 GIP (Get IP)

GIP is a Node.js dependency-free tool for getting Public IPv4 address using "IP echo" services. It will fetch data from multiple services at the same time to give you results as fast as possible.

By default, GIP checks if an IP address is real by waiting for three same responses from different services. You can change this number by adjusting the ensure option.

GIP offers over 20 services, and you can also add your own services using the services option. However, be aware that some services might not always be available or may not work properly. That's why it's a good idea to keep the ensure count at a reasonable level.

Below you can find some examples of how to use these options.

Additional info

• Passing your own services will not prioritize them. You will get answer from the fastest services anyway. List of services is located in file services.mjs
• If you pass service without specified protocol - GIP will treat it as HTTPS
