This library will retrieve your public IP address from [ipify's API service](https://www.ipify.org/), and return it as a string.

This library also has some other nice features you might care about:

- This library handles exceptions properly, and usage examples below show you how to deal with errors in a foolproof way.
- This library only makes API requests over HTTPS.

Install
-------

[](#install)

Via Composer

```
$ composer require benjamin-smith/php-ipify
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
echo Ipify\Ip::get();
```

Or, if your inclined to catch any errors:

```
try {
    $ip = Ipify\Ip::get();
} catch (ConnectionError $e) {
    // If you get here, it means you were unable to reach the ipify service,
    // most likely because of a network error on your end.
} catch (ServiceError $e) {
    // If you get here, it means ipify is having issues, so the request
    // couldn't be completed :(
} catch (Exception $e) {
    // Something else happened (non-ipify related).
}
```
