# WhereAmI



`whereami` is a simple **command line utility that displays your current global/public IP address**; works on macOS, Linux and Windows.



Useful for finding out the ephemeral (current external) IPv4 address.



```shellsession

$ whereami

123.234.123.124

```



```shellsession

$ whereami -help

Usage of whereami:

  -verbose

        prints detailed information if any. such as IPv6 and etc.

```



- Note:

  - This command only displays IPv4 addresses. However, **some service providers will return IPv6 addresses and more detailed information**. In these cases, the `--verbose` option can be used to view the details of the provider's response.

  - To avoid a large number of API requests to the service providers, **this application sleeps for one second** after printing the obtained global/public IP address.

### Service Providers Used



We would like to thank the following service providers that this command uses to discover global/public IP addresses.



- [https://ipinfo.io/](https://ipinfo.io/)

- [https://inet-ip.info/](https://inet-ip.info/)

- [http://inetclue.com/](http://inetclue.com/)

> **This command requests these providers in random order and returns the first IP address with the same response**. As soon as 3 of the same IP address are returned, the command stops and prints that IP address.

> If you notice that a provider is not working or not responding properly, please [report an issue](https://github.com/KEINOS/whereami/issues).
