react-native-public-ip-plus

Get public IP address in React Native (and Web/Node) with resilient fallbacks.

• Reliable: Tries multiple providers (ipify, seeip, my-ip.io, ip.sb)
• Fast: Parallel requests with timeout
• Tiny API: getPublicIP() and getCachedPublicIP()

Install

npm i react-native-public-ip-plus
# or
yarn add react-native-public-ip-plus

Usage (React Native / Web / Node 18+)

import publicIP, {
  getPublicIP,
  getCachedPublicIP,
} from "react-native-public-ip-plus";

const ip = await publicIP();
console.log(ip);

const cached = await getCachedPublicIP();

Promise resolves with string | null (null when all providers fail).

Examples

Basic example:

import publicIP from "react-native-public-ip-plus";

const ip = await publicIP();
console.log("Public IP:", ip);

Sample output:

Public IP: 47.122.71.234

API

• getPublicIP(): Tries multiple providers in parallel, returns the first valid IPv4.
• getCachedPublicIP(): Returns cached result for 5 minutes.

Environment support

• React Native: uses global fetch (RN 0.60+). For older RN, add a fetch polyfill.
• Web: uses browser fetch.
• Node: Node 18+ (built-in fetch). For Node <18, install a fetch polyfill like undici and set global fetch.
