MOIRA

Most Outstanding IP Reporting Assistant

Installation

You may install MOIRA via npm as follows:

npm install moira

The source code is available on GitHub.

Usage

moira.getIP( callback( err, ip, service ))

Retrieve your external IP address asynchronously by requesting it from several different IP-fetching services simultaneously. moira.getIP() reports the quickest result after verifying that it is a valid IP address. err is null if an IP address was found. ip is an IPv4 address. service is the URL of the IP-reporting service that returned ip (e.g. http://whatismyip.akamai.com/).

Example (see test/test.js):

var moira = require( 'moira' );

moira.getIP( function( err, ip, service ){
    if( err ) throw err;

    console.log( 'Your external IP address is ' + ip );
    console.log( 'The fastest service to return your IP address was ' + service );
});
