Get IP Address

At a glance

The post is about how to get the client IP address of the user using a Typebot. Community members suggest using an HTTP request to https://api.ipify.org/?format=json or a Typebot feature to fetch the IP address. However, some community members faced issues where the IP address fetched was the server's IP instead of the client's. They resolved this by enabling the "Execute on client" toggle in Typebot. There were also some discussions around saving the IP address as a variable and issues with a specific Typebot link. Overall, the community members provided suggestions and troubleshooting steps to help the original poster get the client IP address.

I tried this but it doesn't seem to fetch my ip. I think it fetches my server ip instead. 😅 Did I do it wrong?

If you test on builder sure will show your server ip, you need use the shared flow, the place where the user will use

Ah OK... Let me try it again...

works?

Yeah! Thanks buddy! I finally figured out why it was logging my server ip. That's because I didn't enable the "Execute on client" toggle. 😅

It should work, I added this functionality using a HTTP GET request yesterday

It's working now. I think I had it set to POST not GET. Stuck on how to get it to save the IP as a variable. Or rather I've set is a variable {{ip}} but {{ip}} in a text bubble (or elsewhere) returns nothing.
