How to Get User Public Ip in Django

In this post, we'll show you how to get User Public Ip.

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.
