API

ipify(options?)

Type: string
Default: 'https://api6.ipify.org'

Custom API endpoint.

FAQ

How is this different from public-ip?

This package only targets the Ipify service, while public-ip targets multiple services, is faster, and more resilient. Unless you run your own Ipify instance, you probably want public-ip instead.
