Get the IP address of users

How do I...?
1

Is it possible to get it very simply (without installing a whole extension)?

hello Youri, you’re an idiot. This is how a pro do it:
let string = runtimeScene.getVariables().get(“string”);

fetch(‘https://api.ipify.org?format=json’)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
data.ip; string.setString(data.ip)});

You do not need JavaScript to do a network request

4

the example with fetch works fine

5

I’m not saying it does not I’m saying you could just as well do it with events and do not need any JavaScript to do that

6

ha sorry I read too fast. Then I would need the extension, right?

7

Nope, there is a network call event action that can pull from any rest api.

8

thanks but you would have to give more info or say where one can get it

It’s an action, in the network section. I believe it’s labeled “send a request to a web page” or something similar.

The rest is up to you to fill it out with whatever API info you’re calling.
