myip-foo

Official Rust client for myip.foo - a free, privacy-focused IP lookup API.

Features

• Async/await support with tokio
• Full type definitions with serde
• Dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 support
• Connection type detection
• No API key required

Installation

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
myip-foo = "1.0"
tokio = { version = "1.0", features = ["full"] }

Quick Start

use myip_foo::{get_ip, get_ip_data};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Get plain IP
    let ip = get_ip().await?;
    println!("IP: {}", ip);

    // Get full data with geolocation
    let data = get_ip_data().await?;
    println!("IP: {}", data.ip);
    println!("City: {}", data.location.city);
    println!("Country: {}", data.location.country);
    println!("ISP: {}", data.network.isp);

    Ok(())
}

API Reference

Functions

get_ip() -> Result<String>

Returns your IP address as plain text.

get_ip_data() -> Result<IpData>

Returns full IP data including geolocation.

get_dual_stack() -> Result<DualStackData>

Returns both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses using dedicated endpoints.

get_connection_type() -> Result<ConnectionTypeData>

Detects if connection is residential, VPN, or datacenter.

get_headers() -> Result<HashMap<String, String>>

Returns all HTTP headers as seen by the server.

get_user_agent() -> Result<String>

Returns your user agent string.

Types

pub struct IpData {
    pub ip: String,
    pub ip_type: String,           // "IPv4" or "IPv6"
    pub hostname: Option<String>,
    pub connection_type: Option<String>,  // "residential", "vpn", "datacenter", "tor"
    pub location: Location,
    pub network: Network,
    pub cloudflare: Cloudflare,
}

pub struct DualStackData {
    pub ipv4: Option<String>,
    pub ipv6: Option<String>,
}

pub struct ConnectionTypeData {
    pub ip: String,
    pub connection_type: String,  // "residential", "vpn", "datacenter", "unknown"
}

Examples

Get Dual-Stack IPs

use myip_foo::get_dual_stack;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let dual = get_dual_stack().await?;

    if let Some(ipv4) = dual.ipv4 {
        println!("IPv4: {}", ipv4);
    }
    if let Some(ipv6) = dual.ipv6 {
        println!("IPv6: {}", ipv6);
    }

    Ok(())
}

Check Connection Type

use myip_foo::get_connection_type;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let conn = get_connection_type().await?;
    println!("Connection: {} ({})", conn.connection_type, conn.ip);

    Ok(())
}

Dual-Stack Endpoints

The get_dual_stack() function uses dedicated subdomains:

• ipv4.myip.foo/ip - Returns IPv4 only (A record)
• ipv6.myip.foo/ip - Returns IPv6 only (AAAA record)

Privacy

myip.foo does not log IP addresses or use cookies. See Privacy Policy.
