Getting user's IP address in an app

Anvil Q&A
9

Just for completeness (and in case anyone is interested), this should work -

In a server module :

  @anvil.server.http_endpoint("/tools/:v")
  def tools(v, **params):
    if v=="myip":
    # Return it or store it somewhere.
    return anvil.server.request.remote_address

From your client (form) :

  import anvil.http
  ...
  myip=anvil.http.request("https://<yourappid>.anvilapp.net/_/api/tools/myip")
  print(repr(a.get_bytes()))
