import publicaddr

publicaddr.lookup()
{'ip4': 'x.x.x.x', 'ip6': 'x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x', 'provider': 'opendns',
'proto': 'dns', 'duration': '0.037'}

Lookup for public IP with specific protocol

Lookup for your public IPs from random DNS providers with specific protocol.

import publicaddr

publicaddr.lookup(providers=publicaddr.DNS, retries=2)
{'ip4': 'x.x.x.x', 'ip6': 'x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x', 'provider': 'opendns',
'proto': 'dns', 'duration': '0.037'}

import publicaddr

publicaddr.get(ip=publicaddr.IPv4)
{'ip': 'x.x.x.x', 'duration': '0.025'}
