new to programming, not very familiar with java how can i get the client ip address? if using the java action, where do i put the code? i’ve seen other answers to this question but they are from other versions of mendix that support the httprequest module and mendix 9.22 doesn’t.

The easiest thing is to to call an External API which responds back with an IP Address of the caller.

Now i looked around but couldnt find any that is quite clean and useful.

So i made one for this :)  It is a simple API to which you can make a GET request from your Javascript Action and the response is in JSON format. One example is below.

 

{"client_ip_addresss":"111.111.111.111"}
  1. So make a Javascript Action in which you can write the below code to get the IP Address
// BEGIN USER CODE
    const response = await fetch("https://polite-kashata-ea7b05.netlify.app/api/address");
    const jsonData = await response.json();
    return jsonData.client_ip_addresss;
// END USER CODE

  1. Put a button somewhere which can call a Nanoflow which has an Action of type Javascript Action Call

Let me know how it went

Hi Corina,

If you want the client's IP address you can get this using a request handler. There is a module on the App Store called IP Validation. Which checks an IP address on login

And if this doesn’t help you might wanna have a look at this question also,

Hope it helps!!
