This is a simple Python script that grabs your machine's current IP address and sends it to a Discord webhook. I built this while learning Python, and it's been a great way to understand how HTTP requests, APIs, and webhooks actually work in practice.
- Automatically detects your IP address
- Sends it to Discord via webhook
- Easy to set up and configure
- Lightweight and runs quickly
Honestly, this started as a learning project. I wanted to get hands-on experience with:
- Making requests to external APIs
- Setting up and using webhooks
- Understanding how HTTP requests work in Python
- Just getting better at Python in general
Hey, just want to be clear about something: this script is meant for personal learning and testing only.
Here's the deal:
- Only use this on your own devices and networks
- Don't deploy this to collect information from other people without their knowledge and permission—that's not cool and could get you in legal trouble
- You're responsible for how you use this tool, so please be smart and ethical about it
- I'm sharing this for educational purposes and don't take any responsibility if someone uses it inappropriately
Basically, treat this like any other tool: use it responsibly, respect others' privacy, and stay on the right side of the law. If you're testing it, make sure it's on your own stuff.
Here's what the message looks like when it hits Discord:
