FREE Public IP Address API
Introduction
The Public IP Address API is a quick and straightforward solution for identifying the public IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of customers who are accessing your services. Additionally, it includes proxy detection capabilities by analyzing the X-Forwarded-For (XFF) HTTP header field. Using proxy detection offered by the Public IP Address API, you can provide an additional layer of basic security by enabling you to identify potential proxy servers that may be masking the true identity and location of the user accessing your services.
This API endpoint is particularly appropriate for situations where you only need to collect your users' IP addresses for future business and customer analytics purposes. By utilizing the API, you can easily capture your users' IP addresses and use them to gain valuable insights into your customer base.
