How to get and change Public IP in Python?

I have been trying to get the live IP address in python and change it using a proxy server. The code I have seen is for local IP not the Public IP.

How can I get public IP using python? i.e. the IP I get from whatismyip, and can change the public IP using a proxy request in Python on windows.


There are multiple services you can use to get your ip. The one I use mostly is ipinfo.io/ip

You can use below code

import requests

proxies = {
  'http': 'http://<IP>:<PORT>',
  'https': 'http://<IP>:<PORT>',
}

req = requests.get('http://ipinfo.io/ip', proxies=proxies)
print (req.text)
