Get your public IP address in one HTTP request.

What is APIP

APIP is an open source public IP API that focuses on simplicity. It can be really useful if you're looking for a way to get your public IP from command line, script or programs. There is a public server for test purpose : demo-apip.herokuapp.com hosted on a free dynos at heroku.com. If your looking for a more reliable public server for public IP API I recommend you ipify.org.
