Simple utility to get the public IPv4 address of your machine using the ipify.org API.

📦 Installation

  } catch (err) {
    console.error("Failed to fetch public IP:", err);
  }

⚙️ Options

No options are required.
The module performs a single HTTP request to retrieve the caller's public IP address.

🌐 How it Works

This module sends a GET request to:

https://api.ipify.org?format=json

And returns your public IPv4 address in string format (e.g. "85.105.12.34").

📤 Output Example

Public IPv4 address: 85.105.12.34

🧪 Run Test

node test.js

You can also run the function directly to see your current IP.
