What's my IP and where is it?
Free public API for your IP plus city/country/ISP/timezone. One curl, one jq, done.
The one-liner
$ curl -s https://ipapi.co/json/ \
| jq -r '"\(.ip)\t\(.city), \(.country_name)\t\(.org)\t\(.timezone)"'What each stage does
- [01] curl
curl -s https://ipapi.co/json/ipapi.co's anonymous endpoint — no key, ~1000 req/day per IP. Returns IP, geo, ISP, timezone, currency, calling code. - [02] jq
jq -r '"\(.ip)\t\(.city), \(.country_name)\t\(.org)\t\(.timezone)"'String interpolation: `\(.field)` inserts a field into a literal. -r emits raw text. Tab-separated so you can pipe to `column -t` if you want alignment.
Expected output (sample)
203.0.113.42 Berlin, Germany Deutsche Telekom AG Europe/Berlin
Caveats & tips
- If you're behind a VPN/proxy, you see the egress IP, not your LAN IP.
- For deeper data (ASN, postal, latitude), drop `-r` and jq the whole object.
