How to Get User Public Ip in Django
In this post, we'll show you how to get User Public Ip.
Table Of Contents
Getting User public ip
def get_user_public_ip(request):
""" Getting client Ip """
x_forwarded_for = request.META.get('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR')
if x_forwarded_for:
ip = x_forwarded_for.split(',')[0]
else:
ip = request.META.get('REMOTE_ADDR')
return ip
This function returns the user IP.
To understand, let's write an example.
Example
In this example, we'll write a function view that returns the IP of the client.
views.py
def get_client_ip(request):
""" Getting client Ip"""
x_forwarded_for = request.META.get('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR')
if x_forwarded_for:
ip = x_forwarded_for.split(',')[0]
else:
ip = request.META.get('REMOTE_ADDR')
return ip
def show_client_ip(request):
""" show ip adresse of client """
ip_adresse = get_client_ip(request)
return render(request, "adresse.html", {"ip_adresse":ip_adresse})
urls.py
#ip adresse
path('ip-adresse/', show_client_ip),
adresse.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Client ip adresse</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Your Ip Adresse: {{ip_adresse}}</h1>
</body>
</html>
Result:
As you can see, I got 127.0.0.1 IP because I'm on the localhost.
